    I'm thinking about changing from the dell Wireless card to the Intel 6300, but got a little confused about the cards listed at ebay.
    There are cards listed for different type of laptops. Mostly HP/IBM and then the other cards are listed as Dell/Benq and whatever. Didn't see anyone listed as compatible with alienware, but I guess that the one compatible with the dell laptops will work in the M17xR3?
    I also see alot of Engineering samples, but I might want to stay away from those since it might be early releases of the cards?

    Don't get an ES, I did and it didn't work. There is a guy on the forum selling one for $30 shipped. Check the Sale area.
