Actually, I figured the problem out. It actually makes sense-- I just happened to be downloading something and decided to start Civ IV up. Whilst starting it up i realized the signal hadn't died yet. Intrigued by the lack of signal being cut off, I continued playing. It worked for over 2 hours...
Meh, well, I'd like to give this thing a chance-- a much greater signal than my previous linksys card. I have begun to suspect the software. This device comes with a ZD1211 program, but can use window's zero wireless setup thing as well. I'll compare results of both programs and see which works...
Ok, PC Specs are:

And, it's a USB, Hawking Technologies HWL2.. But I have tested it in every USB port.
Alright, I recently bought a new Wireless G USB card for my computer. This card is advertised as Professional and receives a better signal than my last card. One quite disturbing problem though, whenever I attempt to game, the card decides to stop working. Basically, the card loses signal...
