I know this has probably been discussed before many times, but I can't seem to find a thread, so here goes:

My ladyfriend has a Linksys Wireless B PCMCIA Adapter she inserts into her older laptop to use Wi-Fi. At the same location I (with wireless built into my laptop) get "Excellent" reception and she gets "Low" or "Very Low." I've checked her settings and Windows is managing it at 100% power with Power Saving turned off.

Is there some other brand or type of PCMCIA card we can purchase that has better reception-range?

I've heard this has something to do with amperage or something, but I don't see much in the way of tech specs on retail boxes and such to tell me if one card is better than another.

Also, would a "G" card be better in the range department? Or is that just speed?

Thanks!
