Question MIMO Wireless and PCI Std Ver 2.2

I have several Compaq DeskPro EN Pentium III 1.0GHz PC's dotted around a housing estate where not all residents have BT landlines.

My plan is to install wireless ADSL routers in those who have BT lines and wireless cards in PC's that don't

I have looked at 802.11b, 802.11g, Super G and the best on offer for coverage (not too fussed about strength) seems to be the Pre-N or MIMO kit.

Unfortunately, they all seem to rabbit on about requiring the motherboards to be PCI standard ver 2.2? How do I find this out as Compaq are not forthcoming with support

I also suspect the PC's are only USB 1.0, not USB 2.0 so that is why I was going PCI rather than USB sticks....

Any thoughts/suggestion?

Cheers, Jonathan

The D-Link DSL-G624M looks like a good all-in-one MIMO ADSL Router.

IIRC Pentium 3 motherboards didn't support 2.2. From experience though, the PCI adapter might still work.

Ive got the Belkin Pre N Mimo. I did a lot of reading and this was most recomended.

Used it for a few weeks and not a single complaint.
