First of all, you need to realize that no matter what you get, any bluetooth device that you use for a DS3 is going to take over that bluetooth device. It will no longer work on your system for anything else. However, if you are using the DS3 wired, and are not using bluetooth, you can avoid that scenario. I'm emphasizing this point since you are using it on a preexisting system, and most people don't bother with having two separate bluetooth adapters running at once unless they are doing this purposefully.
Now that that's out of the way. Use the SCP Drivers. Reliable, simple, easy. Can't beat that. Follow the instructions on the site, all of them, when installing. You need all of the prerequisites, don't cheat on them. When you reach the step in the installation instructions when you run ScpDriver.exe (Step 8), if you don't want to use bluetooth, make sure "Bluetooth Driver" is unchecked. Then hit install and you're done.
