 Does not come with windows7 drivers September 5, 2010
Emalkay
If you are buying this card for a windows 7 build you will have to look for drivers online other than that the card works fine. I'm playing online games like CSS on steam and others and it gives me no lag, our wireless modem is two rooms away and I'm getting 4 out of 5 bars which is good but not perfect. I wish they updated the drivers for MAC or hackintosh as some of you might know what that is. The latest drivers for their web side are from 08 for 10.5.x version. No snow leopard support what so ever.
 Significant improvement over my USB wireless September 4, 2010

I had a USB wireless adapter that got 50-60% signal strength. This this adapter, I get around 90%. I've absolutely no problems with this card and have been impressed by it's performance.
works well August 31, 2010

does as advertised. Bought this because of current reviews and it's great. I have to "repair" the connection about once every 2 weeks on the machine being used with this card, but I never have to repair the connection on my other computer. Not sure why this is, but it's a really fast fix and never causes problems.
really great wireless PCI adapter! August 18, 2010

I purchased this card to replace my Linksys WMP54G, which kept dropping my internet connection and thus forcing me to my laptop when I wanted to access the internet.
But since this card comes with a non-stationary antenna, I can place it above/in front of my computer and get a better signal! I am 2 floors up from the router, and with the walls being as thick as they are, it isn't easy to get a good signal, but this card does!
Okay, there are a few flaws. I needed to download the driver from MSI's web site because Windows would not recognize/install the driver. And the connection appears to be a bit slow, but maybe that's because I'm a few floors up. Nothing too negative to stop me from using it.
The MSI PC60G is sold out as I am writing this review, but I was lucky enough to snag one from a third party a few days ago and love the performance. There's a reason it's sold out. Well, yeah, I guess they stopped manufacturing it. But also, no one wants to sell something that works, and the ones that are available are getting bought quickly.
It is a bit better... July 30, 2010

This would be ideal for an older XP 32 bit system if you don't want to spend a lot of money. It will also work on newer systems like win 7.
Keep in mind, to get the most out of the card you won't want to use an older b / g router, what you really want is to use a newer g / n router. You want to set the card for combo reception, d/g. This can give you a 40% improvement compared to setting it just for g reception. You will not see the full speed of this card until you install a newer router. Also keep in mind that if you are using DSL internet you can't expect a lot of speed either; but that's not the card's fault.
I am getting about 11 MBPS actual download speed with a g / n router, and a 54 MBPS transfer rate with five bars of signal. When I tried it with a b / g router I was getting about 6 MBPS. You can see from that, a good newer router really made a difference.
The stock antenna lead is short, 24 inches, but that's because at this frequency there is a lot of loss in a long wire. A longer wire would lose a lot of the signal.
I also use a Hawking antenna with 6 db gain, if you are not getting five bars of signal, don't expect spectacular speed.
Then you have to weigh the advantage of an n wireless adapter, which is much faster (about 6 times faster), but costs twice as much.
This would be the choice if you are trying to get the most performance for the least money. I think it's a great card for g 54 speed, which is just about obsolete compared to the n systems. But do you want to spend twice as much on an n system?
