Hey there,
My friend recently moved and gave me a Windows 2000 Dell Optiplex GX260. The computer has a wireless PCI card (antenna included) installed in it. However, the computer runs horribly. We recently received a Dell Dimension 3000 with Windows XP and it runs fine, but is lacking a wireless card. Since we want to hook the Dimension up upstairs, we can't run cords up there. I was curious to know if it was possible to transfer the Optiplex's wireless card to the Dimension. I do not have the disk for the card, but could plug into the router with ethernet to get drivers if I can. Is any of this possible/recommended? Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.
