Kind more pricey then the rest, but it supports 802.11N networks, which is what everything is going to soon.
It also supports the older B&G networks too. So it'll work now, and it will work a couple of years from now too.

If your wanting to go as cheap as possible, maybe something like these:

Now the problem with those are your not gonna get a good signal, which will make your net crawl..
I'd spend the extra money, and get one that you know is gonna work, now and a couple of years down the line...
Just my two cents..

Man its hard to type like that. I will probably order one of those wifi adapters. I may just get a cheap one(speed is not my objective) once my paycheck gets in and then purchase a mondo antenna. Im in a basement trying to pick up a signal next door(only wired at this house), and my buddy will let me squat on his wireless. I feel that is the most economical solution.

On a lighter note, my lappy has a weak wireless pcmcia card in it. If i set it up on its side(screen propping it up for stability) I can get a stable connection to the raceway 2.5 miles line of sight connection! Sweet . . . . but thats upstairs tho.

Just finished a WU. Perhaps I'll be listed now.

[nunyadam]

YEAH! Yes you will be listed in the next update.

The P4 was a 1.5Ghz, Dropped in a 2.4Ghz and it came up as a 1.8Ghz. Oh well better than nothing. I may just put Linux on it.

Hai Guyz!

Umm, could I do this while I'm away and doing other time consuming computer tasks, becasue on days while I'm AFComputer It would be cool to help, although my bandwith is about 700 Down on a good day and 100 up?

Is that good enough?

[KarmaKiller]

It takes very little bandwidth to run folding. It just needs to be able to download WU, and then send in the results.
I do run folding almost all the time. I shut it down when I'm playing games though. My computer yells at me if I do both at the same time..

But you should be able to fold Prince..
