    I dont think Dell locks out specific wireless cards, so yes, one should be able to be used in a 1640

    Does anyone know the difference between the 6300 and the 5300?

    I read the data sheets on the Intel homepage and could not find any difference of the performance values and capabilities. The only difference is that the 5300 is available as miniPCI and miniPCI half size card while the 6300 is only available as miniPCI half size card.
