Acer Aspire X1700 Wifi
Most new Wifi adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. The WiFi in your desktop, if so equipped, uses an adapter to communicate with your home network. It is much simpler to buy a common WiFi USB adapter and install it, than to replace any built-in adapter your desktop may have. Buying a wireless adapter is quite easy because the only thing you have to know is the operating system that is installed on your desktop.
