Great for OSX86

white Reviewed By: Method on 7/28/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Detects as Airport on OSX86 OOB (Out of Box - no kext editing), Detects on Vista with no driver install needed, Great Price
Cons: Included Antenna is a bit weak, but once replaced it's great.
Other Thoughts: This is great for OSX86 if you're looking into that as it detects as Airport right after you install Leopard, no messing with kext (it just works). It's the same way with Vista, after Vista installation no driver install needed, it just works. On Windows XP you have to install drivers but that's understandable. Yes, the antenna isn't the greatest - picks up about 80% - 85% signal where my old card picked up 99% - 100% at the same location. But once the antenna is replaced it works great.

Pros: Just bought last one from Newegg,... it's my second unit first worked flawless with Win XP and Vista...second will work with custom build system with Win 7.

Never install any software that comes with it... Win XP & Vista loads the newest Marvel- Libretta drivers for the unit. Managing throught networking tools from OS...

Had no idea that some others manufacture wireless adapters can NO WORK with Vista... that's new for me...!
Cons: Well,...didn't see any..
Other Thoughts: Should buy more for 4 desktops I have... but still using the wire as the fastest and most secure connection for my network...

Pros: It works well in a upgraded 1998 Gateway G6-400 PC. Yes a 1998, you read it correctly, a Gateway made in 1998.
Cons: The computer is 11 years old but, it works fine for wasting time on Facebook and other light duty internet surfing.
Other Thoughts: The PC has been upgraded with a Power Leap 1.4ghz upgrade kit, Audigy gamer soundcard, 384 mgs of memory, 128mg ATI graphic card, and 300 watt power supply. Ubuntu 9.1 Karmic Koala ROCKS!!
