The owners just put free wifi in my mobile home park. How can I connect with my desktop PCs?
Both PCs have Window’s XP and no wireless capability.
Well, you basically answered your own question. You need some way to give them wireless capability. The two easiest ways of doing this are either:
A) Buying and installing a wireless card
or
B) Buying an external wireless adapter
The latter option is a vastly more economic choice. I’ve got some 54Mbps 802.11b/g USB wireless adapters that I bought for 99 cents (USD) and they have never failed me. There are, of course, different levels of quality to choose from, but even the cheapest USB wireless adapters should do the trick. Just make sure that the wireless network is not broadcasting on 802.11n. If it is, you will need an 802.11n capable wireless card or adapter. These will be a bit more expensive.

What to look for in a desktop PC
What to look for in a desk top PC
Some important factors to consider when purchasing a new desktop PC:
Processors (CPUs)
Processor choices are a bit more difficult now than they were previously It is still really a choice between an AMD and an Intel processor. The difference really comes in how many cores there are in the processor and its speed. Each company now has a performance rating system that isn’t really easy to compare. This is often where a lot of buyers are tripped up.
Memory (RAM)
Most desktop computers now use a type of memory called DDR2. DDR3 which is now finally making its way to PC systems but it is more expensive. In terms of amount, it is best to have at least 2GB of memory in the system and preferably u p to 4GB. Memory speeds can impact performance as well. The faster the memory, the better the performance will be and the better your PC will cope under pressure.
Hard Drives
With Hard Drives he two main points to consider are size and speed. The larger the drive and the faster, the better the performance and capacity. In a desktop, it is best to have at least 500GB or more of storage space. In terms of speed the desktop PC’s on the market are all roughly the same. A few high performance drives are available.
Optical Drives (CD/DVD/Blu-ray)
Most systems sold now feature DVD burners, even the budget systems. Blu-ray is an option for those wanting to use their PC for the high definition video format.
Monitors
Obviously a monitor is essential! Previously users would need to choose between a CRT or LCD monitor, but LCDs are pretty much the standard now The real issue is more about size and cost of the LCDs.
