Should I get a wireless card or a wireless usb adapter for my PC?

Question

I just built a new computer with an Intel Core 2 quad, a DFI Blood-Iron motherboard, and a MSI 8800 video card. I need to get a wireless adapter to pick up wireless N signal. I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a wireless card to install in my desktop or just get a wireless usb adapter. What is the difference, if any, and what are the pros and cons of each?

Answer 1

They will work the same, but the card in the case is going to be more physically durable and will generally get better signal due to a larger antenna..
