    Before I buy one of ebay

    Just wanna make sure with you guys that it will work with no problems

    That it would work with the nforce 730i mobo with no compatibility problems

    And this should replace my Dell 1515 wireless N card rite ...

    I'm am interested in the WiMAX function so I could use clear's 4 network but remember reading awhile back that Intel Wifi cards can't work with the Nvidia mobo

    I don't think it will be compatible with nvidia chipset. I found out that this wireless card is "Compatible with intel 940 943 945 960 965 GL40 GS45 GM45 GM47 PM45 mainboard chipset." So, it is same as intel wifi 5300/5100. so your laptop will most likely to freeze after you instal the card.

    You can try the dell wifi 1520 or 1510 (non-atheros). Mine is 1520 and it is very stable.

    I didn't have 1510 before, so i cannot comment on that. However, 1515 sure gave me trouble....
