    I bought a Inspiron 1420, but I couldnt choose for it to come with an N-card(since I have an N router). Anyways, Id figure Id check to see if I could just buy it and install it. The thing is, I dont know what the difference is between these two:
    1) http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0917209

    and this one
    2) http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0667389

    Do both of these stick out from the side of the laptop? Id only want to purchase one if it didnt stick out and it just went inside the notebook.

    Also, be sure you don't buy PCMCIA and only buy express card if you do go with an external one... Dell doesn't put PCMCIA slots on the 1420...
