Connected this little whizz directly to the cable modem and speed-wise it kicks the proverbial. No wifi card? Luckily, I had a spare 40' ethernet cable lurking around from the old days, which saved me some money. Warning. I still had to FIND and buy a VGA cable for the display output. VGA to VGA means lofi  picture quality, but functional.This unit seems to about processing capability and NOT at all about the user experience. Suits me.
