http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=u13-4052 [ I just received mine today and thought I'd share my experience ] For $80 you get 2 USR prism2 cards, each in a PCI adaptor. One is a standard 5V USR 2410 that is meant to be used either in or out of the PCI adaptor, the other is a 3.3V card with an external antenna (no builtin antenna on the card). You have to remove a plastic "do not remove" sticker from the latter to get it out of the PCI adaptor. The external antenna has a reasonably strong magnet on the bottom that could make it useful for war-driving (the antenna cable is only 5ft though). The USR site also has prism2 station firmware 1.4.9. I have no idea what's changed in the firmware though. - todd
