PCI Internal Readers for Wireless Mobile PC cards for Desktops:
Most of the wireless cards on the market now are 32-bit cardbus
cards so you have to use a PCI-based internal 32-bit PC card reader
like
PCD-110CS,
PCD-202CS, PCD-101CS, P222, etc. listed here.
Cingular also offer some 16-bit 3G/EDGE wireless
cards. If you are sure your card is a 16-bit one, you can also use the
16-bit front-mount readers like
PC750
and P423. Not sure if your card
is 16 or 32-bit? Click here
to see the difference.
32-bit PC cards have the gold/copper plated edge on the insertion
end.
For
desktop PC users, we strongly suggest that you choose these PCI
internal universal readers over the USB external ones. The success rate of these PCI-based internal PC card read-writers
for 3G
wireless cards is about 95%. The failure is due
to a complex combination of your PC hardware, it's BIOS,
your O/S setup and your
wireless modem driver. Windows
98, ME, XP &
Vista normally has fewer problems than
Windows 2000.
