    Possibly you'll get better performance, depending on your wireless network (router, interferance, etc.).

    Over the Atheros, both offer 5GHz band and faster possible connection speeds.

    Something to consider: The 6300 is a 3-antenna model and the G73JH has only two antennas installed. You could run it with two or install a 3rd antenna. People here have done both.

    With two antennas, they offer the same performance, you'd have to install a third antenna to get more performance out of the 6300.

    Yep. Basically any half-height wlan card will fit in your G73, swapping them is as easy as eating cake too.
