Suggestions on wireless card please

The desktop that I currently am using is using a netgear usb wireless adapter which basically blows chunks. I have tried to perform large file transfers to this machines and it goes belly up. Wireless connection drops and I have to perform a repair. I know it’s the adapter(or driver to) because my laptop is able to handle the large transfers via wireless. The laptop wireless is built in.

So, if in doubt. Throw the mother out.

The wireless router is a netgear also, but it seems to be doing fine. This desktop is a dell dimension something or another p.o.s..

I want to go with an internal pci card this time if possible.

So, oh great warriors of the tech world. Suggestions on how to win this war of p.o.s. network cards?
