Wireless bandwiidth question?

[dizzyd]

I was contemplating buying a new wifi card for my desktop and upgrading to
802.11N. I noticed that there is now 802.11N pci express cards available.
Would I notice a performance increase with pci express? Also I'm using a
linksys N router would this work ok with a d link 802.11N pci express card?

Compared to what? 802.11G, yes.

Although 802.11n is still in "draft" status, the trade organization that
represents the major wireless networking manufacturers has a
"certification" program that supposedly assures interoperability between
802.11n draft 2.0 products. Without looking, I assume that both D-Link
and Linksys products are "certified."

Hi
It depends on what is it the you have now, and several environmental
factors.
Since I do not know what the above is, it hard to give a straight answer.

You can´t forget if this 802.11G or 802.11B just about for classify the
bandwidth of the devices on the network, like the 802.11G is used for the
bandwidths of 54Mbs and the 802.11B for 11Mbs, this just for idicate what
mode the device goes used, conform the other resources with goes used too,
leave the device transmition more secure.
