Help a complete tech idiot: What wireless adapter/dongle (??) should I purchase to boost the wifi range of my laptop? (Also, maybe you could help me understand some of the tech language or point me to a DIY project an idiot could accomplish...) [more inside]

I have an Apple Airport Extreme wireless card from a computer I no longer need wireless access to. I believe it's a mini PCI card, although I don't know for sure. Is there are an adaptor out there that will allow me to use it with a regular PCI slot on a PC? (not on a Mac)

One of the things I like most about my iBook is that the wireless adapter is internal and doesn't protrude from the system. Does anyone know of a PCMCIA 802.11b (or g) WiFi adapter for a PC laptop that doesn't protrude beyond the PC card slot?
