and read the first paragraph, as far as i can tell that gives any differences, like AI Audio2, although have to agree that unless you know the specs there is no visible difference from the pics.

I think the power circuitry is different as well.

can i ask a question? I also was planning to get a wifi board but in the end i though it was better to get a non wifi board and then add a wifi pci card - then you don't have this long antenna cable coming from the mb....is there something about a wifi board that i am missing?

I don't think there is any difference, although if you need the extra PCI slots the on-board one might be more useful, especially if they get blocked due to GPU coolers.

thanks master811!

hey pompalomp, if you have a spare pci slot, you should consider a wif pci card, since they usually have just a normal antenna sticking right next to the card (i.e. neater)...

for wifi boards and i think asus ones, they have this plug and then this long cable AND then is the normal antenna on this base....seems very clumsy ( but i guess it might receive signals better)

The wifi motherboard have a small wifi card that plugs into a small header on the motherboard itself, so there arent any cables, other than the one that plug into the aerial, but you would have one of those if you bought an add on card anyway.

ok, thanks clunk for the correction!
