Wouldn't Recommend It.

Pros:
It does bring wireless internet to your desktop. It's PCI-E 1x. Low Profile.
Cons:
Terrible signal strength. This card was in a computer one room away from the access point and only had 60% signal strength. There was a high rate of dropped packets 12~24%, and there was a huge amount of latency (multiple seconds).
The drivers on the disk aren't signed, and windows really freaks out about it. The drivers on the website aren't great either. The card is also not class compliant, so it won't work out of the box.
Overall Review:
It's a ralink chipset if you're curious.
I bought this so that we didn't have a cable running through the living room, and I knew wireless wouldn't be as good as gigabit, but the connection was almost unusable.
