Hi USB to serial port cables are not like they used to be when drivers were immature. Now a days, most will work fine.. I have keyspan adapters which have certified drivers but I also picked up a no name prolific cable that works fine in XP win 7 and 8. I would be more concerned about noise potential having a board added to my pc that with these cables that can be wrapped with some ferrites. That being said use a good quality FTDI based USB to serial adapter and you are good to go. On the pc side stay away from the cheap house brands unless they use a good power supply such as the pc power and cooling brand. Get a decent monitor from Samsung or dell for example. No rfi in my experience.
