I was looking to buy a Wifi TurboTenna Antenna. It runs off a RF cable. I have a ATI all in wonder video card(RF IN). Im doing my research on the connectors I must buy, and I am getting very confused. Will I have to get a new network card to get this to work. If anyone has the antenna, or knows about the subject, drop me a hint.

I think you will find that the RF in on the video card is for TV RF, not for Wi-Fi.

A normal wi-fi network card should work. Just disconnect the antenna that is already attached and plug in the RF cable from the remote antenna.

However, not all wi-fi network cards have detachable antennas, so you may have to buy one that does.
