This will be a very noobish question...
I am shopping for a new motherboard on amazon. One seems perfect except that it has the wifi field empty. I am certainly not going to use ethernet. Do I need a wifi adapter or a intel wireless-ac, as listed in the wifi fields of other motherboards? What is the difference between them and how do I make sure they will be compatible with my motherboard?
