    It depends on entirely what you want it for, do you need it to run under Linux? Do you need extreme range? I've used quite a few in the last year and they all seem to do the job equally well.

    I have that exact card - it's been fantastic. Installed easily out of the Box in Linux (fiesty fawn and Freespire) and the provided CD was allt hat was needed for Windows.

    Doesn't drop connection, unlike my previous Dlink card and numerous USB efforts.
