    so i ordered my m17x over the phone last week because i couldnt check out online because of wanting to pay half of dell card and half on bank card. after big hassle with indian sales rep about the 100$ off black friday coupon, i overlooked them not adding the killer n i had on the notebook i built and put in my cart, so they just put in the centrino wireless card. after a quick web search it turns out the killer n has 3 attenas and the centrino 2. will my m17 not have that 3rd attenea if i wanted to add a killer n off of ebay? was looking forward to upgrading my network with a netgear WNDR4500 and the killer n card

    You'll have 3 antennas. I got the Centrino 1000-N with mine and upgraded to an Intel 6300 aftermarket. The 3rd antenna is generally taped to the system board next to the wifi module.
