From: species8350 on 28 Dec 2009 10:43 Hi, I am thinking of buying a wi-fi card for my PC (DELL Dimension). Running Vista 32 bit D-Link DWL-G510 PCI Card looks good Anyone any experience. It has a low profile back plane, will it fit my case? Thanks

Is it a system with full-height slots for add-in cards or one with so-called low-profile slots? If the latter, an USB wifi stick is probably your best choice. I am partial to Linksys, but there are other good ones, too. I am unaware of the existence of any low-profile PCI wifi cards. The DWL-G510 looks like a full-height PCI card... Ben Myers

But you might as well find out for sure. Take a ruler or tape measure and measure the approximate size of the board slot openings. Four inches or so is the length of a full height opening. 2 3/4" is the length of a low profile slot opening. If the system has full height slots, you will be fine with the DWL-G510... Ben Myers

Ben Myers I thought some time ago others told me that the usb wifi sticks don't work well ???? I can't speak from any experience since I never used one. I almost considered buying one till others said they didn't work well.
