Question Asus P5K-E WiFi Motherboard

Just a simple question but is the Wireless on this motherboard good or bad?
I'll be doing a little gaming but mostly browsing the web and streaming Vids.
Also is it better to use the 8Pin CPU connector or the 4Pin?

I have a P5K Deluxe WiFi at my office and the WiFi works good for me.

Use the 8-pin :-)

The WiFi on that board is not up to much. I don't use mine as only gets three bars when connected to our house network. Plug in my nice little Belkin dongle and I can pickup about 10 networks in the local area, all with great signal.

Yeah, seconded. I don't know if the Wi-Fi chip on the P5K-E differs, but the one on the Deluxe kinda sucks.

What is the difference between 4Pin and 8Pin?
And are the any known problems with these boards?
Also i heard that the Wifi is connected by USB on the board does that affect performance?
