PCMCIA Port question
Does anyone know if I can install a PCMCIA port on a Dell Dimension XPS P166s desktop. It appears to have spots for open bays and I would like to network it with two other newer computers in my home via a wireless router. As you can probably tell from this message, I am not a computer guru...just barely able to get around on one and stupid enough to be dangerous if I try to fix it.
Thanks

Installing a PCMIA port on your computer would be quite expensive. Why not just install a PCI wiereless network card instead. PCMIA ports are mainly for laptops.

SeaRation01938,
Note that most wireless PCI network adapters require Windows 98 Second Edition or later. Your XPS P166s may be running an operating system earlier than that. Just something to check.
