Dell Dimension 8250 Wireless Adapter?
Tried searching through Dell's website, but no help, of course. Looking to make my Dell Dimension 8250 free from the cord and install a PCI wireless card, is it possible? Haven't taken a look at the backside of the tower, but I believe there is a chance. Does it have the capability for wireless via the PCI?

Hi caffeinetripp,
My name is Krishna and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. The Dimension 8250 comes with four 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots. So as long as you have a free slot, you will be able to include a wireless card.
And as mentioned by mmacpherson5, make sure the card is compatible with your operating system.

Any pci wireless card will run on your computerJust be sure the card is compatible with your operating system
Just beware, most cards tell you to install the card first and then the software..

Will have to work. That being stated, first off, it can be foolish to degrade your internet carrier with wireless on a stationary device and secondly, if you are expecting it to broaden your web efficiency and you have got a wi-fi "G" router, you're improper. If you wish to have the pleasant web performance, run a networking cable.
