Any benfit to getting a MIMO wi-fi card?
was looking at the edimax wireless cards (because they work on xp64)

now i can get

Edimax 802.11g 54Mbps PCI card (EW-7128G) £12.79 inc vat

MIMO-XR 54Mbps PCI Card EW-7628IG £17.39 inc vat


both say 54mbits 802.11G compatable.


Atm my pc is on a wired lan at home but im hoping to move out of parents place soon and where I think im going to be there won't be a wired connection, wireless router will most likely end up downstairs and my pc will be upstairs (and no i don't know which router will be used yet)


aren't MIMO cards supposed to get a better signal or something? but is there any benfit if just connecting to an 802.11G network, the router at my parents house is a preN belkin mimo router but then i connect the desktop to that via wired cat5.
