    If I order an M14x with the default wireless card, the wifi link 1000 or whatever it is, can i upgrade to the 6205? Does it have the spare antenna or would i need to route my own antenna?

    I did the same thing you're doing. the 1000 has 2 posts and so does the 6205, you'll be fine it's a 5 minute install.
