    Hey guys

    Very close to pulling the trigger on this. Last concern remaining is I've read some threads here (sorry, can't find the links) that the stock wireless card on this Asus is a Atheros card and some people reported having connection drops, etc with it.

    I'm buying this from XoticPC and they charge another $35 for the Intel wireless card upgrade. I'm really trying to keep the cost low so wondering if I should upgrade the wireless module from stock to Intel.

    Any thoughts?

    Appreciated.
