    Need help deciding:
    Intel 4965 NextGen Wireless N mini card or Dell 1505 Wireless N mini card?

    I've heard the Dell has some compatibility issues but it's faster, whereas Intel has no compatibility issues.

    Vista or XP?

    I keep hearing bad things about Vista, so I'm inclined to stick with XP unless Vista offers significantly cooler extras.

    I've got the Dell 1505 in my m1330 with Vista and it works fine.

    I personally like Vista and have no desire to go back to XP. No it's not perfect, but I can't justify going back.

    I also have the dell card and it works well. vista is just fine; those complaining usually are just resistant to change.

    I had the Intel 4965 card but it wouldn't work for me, or my router...

    I switch it to a Dell 1500 and all problems are gone!
