    Just configuring an m1330. Which wireless option should I go for? Don't think we're swimming in the wifi N standard over here but is it worth it anyway?

    Just go for the Intel 3945 unless your going to buy a wireless router with N band support then Intel N series...

    It help if you take your laptop around, sometime people use the new router and you might get better speed.

    I dunno if it's just me, but I use the Intel N card and it seems to have outstanding reception. Maybe it's the layout of the antennae, but I really just got it initally because of "future proofing"

    I'd get the N-card if I were you. I doubt standardizing the N frequency is very far away...
