Do I need a wireless networking card?

And if so, what kind do I get?

I am buying a Dell XPS 700 system, and am trying to decide my specs.

Any other help would be appreciated as well!

Thanks!
 
How will you be connecting to the internet? If you have a wireless router and plan on connecting to the internet through that, then yes, you will need it. If your just connecting through a regular wire, then no, but you will most likely need a ethernet card.
 
Moved to networking...

You don't need it unless you plan to go wireless with your internet connection. This is a desktop, correct? There's really no reason to do so unless you don't have any way of connecting the internet to your machine, or you have a network and can't get a wire to the switch/hub/router... All Dell's anymore do have ethernet(wired network cards) installed. At least, I've never seen one today without it...
