Wirless adapter

[chris]

K I was looking into getting a new wirless card for my PC and I've done some home work and I can't detemine wether a 802.11A or 802.11 N card would be better for my application.

A is almost obsolete as a standard, N is brand fucking new and allows for alot of bandwidth... but don't play CSS on this shit, it gives your opponents a latency advantage over you.

im forced to use wireless at res. Lemme tell you now, ur making a mistake if u buy either. The wireless is raping my source abilities :(

[chris]

I'm being kicked out of this room for a month; My sister is home from Holland in a week. Her room has a a wired connection and my doesn't so I'm trying to make the best of the situation.
I've also got to hook up a cycling computer to my PC via wireless so I can download my numbers (heart rate, cadence, distance, speed, time and calories burnt) after a ride. I guess I'll just spring for the N card; it's 80 bucks at canadacomputers but the link was messing up the post.

Well, if you're not transfering huge files, the only advantage to N is that it allows for variable frequencies. The issue with wireless in gaming is that it requires you to send packets out in order to recieve packets is, it also has to specificly decrypt each of these packets. With wired, when an enemy moves into your field of view, that set of packets is registered very quickly, where as with wireless,it waits for you to request packes before telling you you just got awped.

im playing on wireless g and i have a very good connection, i find css is the same its just that i get random weapon pick up lag every so often

[chris]

Your taking to a non-competitive (OGL-Bad) player; I won't loose sleep over an extra 2-5 ms on the ping.

[gOOCH]

my ping wasnt different, i just got random lags, like a hick up, and when i get these hickups, smokes get reset and have to re fill the area, i become unflashed
and this is shitty p5b deluxe wifi onboard wireless g/b, im sure wireless n will be way better

[ORION]

if you look at the protocol architecture for wireless all together, its not great for gaming, you wont get an increase in your ping chris, what you'll get is a hickup whenever you fire a shot, or are being fired at, which proves to be incredibly annoying.
