Is wireless connection to modem fast enough for 3D gaming?

Am building a new PC and am considering using wireless to connect it to the socket in the next room. In other words PC in room 1 and cable socket and Modem in the next room. I have a 600 kbit connection. But will this create significant lags or greatly reduce my 3D online gaming performance? Should I just find the drill and bore a hole in the wall? CHeers, SG.

 

if you going to be doing 3d gaming i say grab the googles and start destroying some drywall! no wireless connection can transfer faster than your wired cable connection.

Yeah, I thought so, but thanks for the confirmation. Damn.

 

Max that your cable ISP can put out currently is 10mbs.. and you don't even get that much. Wireless B is 11mbs and G is 54mbs.. so you'll be fine from pc to internet. Where wireless cuts you short in a home environment is network speed between pc's.
