I know that. No Im not that out of my mind, yet. Its for my new comp.

Its an LinkSys 2.4Ghz. I just need to know if its an internet card or a net working card. I need an internet card.

After the 2.4GHz it should say A, B or G. That is what is important here. If it says B or G it will work if A, you need to look for a different card.

Internet Card and Networking Card are the same thing.

Yup.

Sweet Thanks man your the Best!

Like he said, it'll work best with a wireless B or G standard.

Network cards allow one to access a network, the internet is a network. The important factors are speed and wireless standard.

Cool. There are alot of reveiws saying it has power signal strength.

And another question. Will it work on my comp?

Probably. I cannot remember how to figure out if you have an empty PCI slot on Windows anymore. I think you Right Click My Computer-->Properties-->Hardware-->Device Manager, but I cannot remember were from there. I think on the left there will be a menu that says PCI and you can expand that to see what you have in your PCI slot. Hold on and I'll go to Winodws to find out.

Windows NT/2000/XP or Various Linuxes.

Read the manual first. Some require you to install the drivers before you install it, some after. Either way,hook your computer up to the net wit a wire and download the newest drivers off the companies website.
