I recently purchased a desktop computer and it did not come with a wireless network card. I am currently using the Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter and it is a very sub par product.

It has very slow response times and download speeds with just basic browsing and downloads podcasts through iTunes.

Does anyone have a better suggestion for a wireless adapter? Should I go with another USB adapter or one that connects directly into the motherboard?

I am current using Windows Vista 64 bit Home Premium.

Using VMware's ESXi, can I plug in 30 USB Wireless adapters and allow each of 30 VMs one?
