    So on the low end of the spectrum on customization, and on personal orders you get a choice between the Intel wireless and the Killer. My question is pretty much just what's the difference? And which one is "better" if there is a distinction? (in plain terms, I don't know tech for wireless)

    I know I should really read the Intel WiDi discussion thread, but haven't gotten around to it yet xD So also wondering how that compares to internal wireless hd if anyone has any info.

    Thanks in advance, and sorry if it's been asked a billion times, I looked through a couple pages but didn't see anything.

    No WIDI with the Killer. Killer is the better one for online gaming.

    Why is killer better for online gaming? I know it's what it advertises, but is it because it has better connection, better range? etc.

    I probably mostly won't be doing much online gaming wireless, but if it has a 1 mile range then that's definitely attractive.
