Help in Purchasing a Wireless PCI Card/USB Adapter for Personal Use

I tried to do the research on my own so as not to bug people, but I could not come to any concrete solutions. I will need to connect to the internet via a wireless device on my desktop in a week. I game on my computer and stream a lot of video, but that's about it. I have a few questions:

  1. How big of a difference is the performance between a PCI card and a USB adapter?

  1. What are the advantages/disadvantages to both, i.e. which would better suit my lifestyle?

  2. I own an HP Slimline desktop...it appears that the PCI slot is smaller than normal? Will I have to find a special PCI card to fit in this?

I appreciate the help since I am in the process of a move, so the less things to worry and research about, the better.

Thanks again,

Nikki
