    Dear notebook review fourms members.

    I have decided upon my Dell latitude D810 but have come to one final roadblock.

    Should I go with the base Dell 1370 Wireless B/G card or go with the Intel Pro 2200 series Wireless B/G card. The Intel 2200 costs $19 more, but I was told by a Dell agent that the intel wireless card works a lot better with the laptop's chipset and processor?

    Any comments?

    Yeah I read about what you had talked about. A lot of the earlier versions had problems, but this was corrected in the newer Intel 2200s and the newer drivers.
