    i have recently purchased a m17x r3 which was advertised as having a Killer Wireless-N 1103 Card but i have checked the device manager and the dell website and both say mine has a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card am i correct in thinking they are not the same card i just want to be sure before i get annoyed with someone

    Many thanks for any help

    I am pretty sure that the DW1501 is the default/included card when no networking card upgrade is chosen.

    Where did you purchase the system from?

    Eddie is right.
    In this case you have to contact the seller and tell him you didn't receive what was advertised.
