    I purchased my Studio 1555 on Dell Outlet with a Dell 1397 802.11b/g wifi card, and I want to upgrade this card to the Intel 5100 a/g/n Half-Mini Wifi Card. If I purchase this Intel 5100 off of AVADirect (link below), will it be compatible?

    That will work just fine. Not to be a shameless self-promoter or anything, but I'm actually selling a brand new Intel 5100 half-height mini card here at the NBR Marketplace. $20 shipped within the US and Canada. You can check out my thread there, and PM me once you get 10 posts.

    Weird...maybe I remember the numbers wrong. Maybe go check the rules thread in the forum feedback section, near the bottom of the forum index, just above Off Topic. If it's not there, post a thread in that forum and ask. :)
