Hi, I have a 3 year old computer that I hope I can run on the internet from a a wireless modem. The modem works on the lap tops okay. I just want to hook the main computer without wires from the modem. I can't find the required wireless hook up on the main computer. Can anyone help? Kind regards Bruce

Hi,

 

Based on information from this page, it has

 

Expansion Slots:

    1 PCI Express x16
    2 PCI Express x1
    1 PCI

 

It also has an ASUS DVB-T/PALTV tuner card and a NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT card. I don't know where they are. Therefore you still have at least 1 PCI Express slot and 1 PCI slot free. My suggestion is to use wireles PCI Express card such as this or USB wireless card such as this.

 

Any of them should come with a driver CD and instructions how to connect to an existing wireless Network.

 

Regards,
