PCIe 1x is either 250 MB/s or 500 MB/s depending on whether or not you are running PCIe 1.x or 2.0

Wireless N (the fastest wireless currently available) operates at (about) between 6 and 16 MB/s

Wireless G (which you most likely own ) operates at 3 MB/s

What I'm trying to say is that the speed of the bus is exponentially ahead of today's wireless technology - go get yourself a good antenna

note: the wireless speeds I listed are speeds you'll actually see, not their claimed maximum throughput (which is STILL factors under the bus speed)
