Replacement wireless adapter for HP Desktop PC?
I have an HP desktop, model HPE-500f. It has a built-in wireless adapter, which is good because the room where my roommate has the router installed is too far away to have a wired ethernet connection. The wireless adapter has worked fine for several months, but now it's hardly picking up a signal. This started happening with my previous HP desktop after about a year or so.
My laptop in the same room as the desktop can pick up the same signal flawlessly, and the adapter in the desktop used to work just as well. Now it takes 3-4 minutes just to load up the Google homepage. Sometimes it can't even connect to the router.
I'm not very handy with the inner workings of computer hardware. Is there any sort of replacement adapter that I can purchase so that I can still use the internet? What would be the cheapest alternative so I can still get a good connection?

The motherboard *will have to* have built-in wifi access. Most do these days. If no longer, get a pcie wifi card. I might say go for six+ gb ddr3 ram, actually, get 1333. It works pleasant, and it's concerning the equal fee. It can be better for multitasking. Quality build btw!
