My refurb Mac Pro will arrive tomorrow without BT or wireless. I can live without the BT, but the layout of my apartment necessitates a wireless connection. Unfortunately, the spot where my Mac will go is a couple of rooms and a few walls away from my Linksys router. We have two laptops that get "4 out of 5" reception in the same room as the Mac Pro, but they generally sit higher that the MP tower will.
OK, so my question for those of you who have the built-in MP wireless adapter: How's the reception? Should I consider getting a PCI solution with a robust external antenna or are you generally happy with the reception you get with the tower's built-in antenna?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I get "good" reception with my LinkSys WRT54G Router through two walls and about, oh, 40 feet of space in between them...
Your Mileage May Vary, obviously, depending on obstacles, what materials the house was built with, etc.

Sounds good. I've actually managed to move my wireless router closer to where the MP will be, so it should be fine now.
Thanks for the help!
