Next question: Ideally the wireless routers going to be in my study and connected to my pc… is this going to be a problem with the other pc being 2 floors up? I would have guessed it would have to be at the highest point.
Now my laptops already got wireless lan, so that isn’t a problem, but neither of the 2 desktops do, so Whats better a 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter or 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Network Adapter? The USB idea seems far less complicated, but are there any downsides to it?.
Thankyou for any help or advice u can offer

it shouldn't realy matter that one's using XP Home.
it should work downstairs as it uses RF to transmit the signals and they have a good range. (great in the summer sitting in the garden with your lappy connected to the net, you need never be away from us even when it's hot outside...lol)
if you go with the USB adapter youy only need 1 and you can swap it between PC's, but PCI cards are easy to put in
when you go wireless be careful all your neighbours don't use your internet connection
