pcmcia is a more "direct" method for direct bus access on your system. Over the air speeds will not be quicker, but you may find that it works better. The other part being that pcmcia cards slip into the system and only a small external tab shows. a USB thing hangs loose of the back, making it harder to move the laptop around and limiting your ability to actually use it on your lap (because you have a cable off to the USB adapter thingie).
I have both, the USB one never gets used.
For your regular PC, a regular network card and cable are best. You can position your wireless access port near your PC. Make sure you get one with 3 or 4 regular 10-100 ports on the back of it.

Right on.
You're thinking like I do. Who carries their desktop around:-)
The new router I'm taking does indeed have 4 regular pors (which are already full) AND a wireless access point for my laptop.
I'll take the PCMCIA card. Thanks.
