    Just found this review featuring the m17x r3 and a battle with the intel 6300 and the killer wireless 1103. Looks like the 1103 is the way to go for wireless gaming.(if you didn't know already). Looks like ill have to pick one up off ebay here soon. ;)

    i use to have the 6300 centrino and swapped it out for the bigfoot killer. Definetly better for a gaming and the signal is much stronger.

    Well according to the tests, each one did better under different conditions, so if you don't use your laptop(s) in a variety of different environments, you may never notice the difference.
