This means that you might not even have to buy a new adapter for your Hackintosh if you already own a USB WiFi adapter, there's a decent chance that it'll work in Mac OS X. ![]() A lot more USB adapters work. While Mac OS X only supports an extremely limited number of PCI WiFi adapters, there are literally hundreds of USB WiFi adapters that work with OS X to some degree or another.It's not a big price difference, but it's still something worth considering. Sometimes, you can even find USB adapters on sale for half that price. USB adapters are slightly cheaper. Most PCI adapters cost $30-40, while USB adapters rarely cost more than $20.Mini-ITX motherboards are even worse most of them only feature a single PCI slot, making a USB WiFi adapter all the more important. Micro-ATX motherboards usually only come with 2-3 slots. You may not want to waste an extra slot on your WiFi adapter if you plan on connecting a lot of PCI devices, such as graphics cards, sound cards, Firewire cards, RAID cards, TV tuner cards, or so on. ![]()
