I've got an old Dell Dimensions 8200 desktop (windows xp). I'd like to add a wireless card to it to be able to use the internet after I've moved it to a room without any access to the router. (I've checked to make sure it didn't come with one)

I think I need to open it up and check to see if there are any free slots (PCI slots I think). What should I be looking for to make sure I can add a wireless card to this desktop?

Also, what type of wireless card should I be looking for?
