@TheHockeystar3612 If by that you mean narration I have to be honest, I'm not the best at doing that. However most of my videos do have audio.

Hey excellent video! Im moving house soon so i need to get a wireless card, my question is, my PC has 2 PCI slots, one is directly above my graphics card, and the other is a little more above , should i put the wireless card into the highest one away from my graphics card? im wondering just incase it interupts air flow and cooling capabilities to my graphics card? thank you

@dan14killzor I don't think it really matters where you put it. Your PCI slots are made to be filled, so air flow to the graphics card should not be interrupted. If you're still worried about it though you could look into speeding up the fan, but it shouldn't be necessary. The one thing you want to make sure you get right with these cards though is reception from the router. Don't hide your machine in some desk compartment and have your router sitting on the other side of the house.

@murjax thanks for the reply!! I feel a little more relxed now about the placement of my wireless card :) and my tower is on the top of my desk, next to the monitor, and the router is exactly below, downstairs, so i shouldn't have a problem, the card can reach 300mbps so it should be ok, would rather stick to my ethernet though, even though it woun't be possible when i move !
