What would you say are unique advantages that PCI bus NICs could offer?

Answer 1

If you are comparing to USB, you can't rest assured knowing that your PCI card in't going to become disconnected or broken like a USB NIC that sticks out from your PC.

Keep in mind that wireless PCI NICs may not work as well (to a small extent) if the PC in question is located under or enclosed in a desk.

If price is an issue and they are of comparable speed, I would go PCI provided you don't have to remove any other necessary PCI cards.

Answer 2

wired or wireless...actually it doesnt matter. get the pci one it will be easier to use. usb relies too heavily on software and can be a pain sometimes
