    If you can afford 6300, take it.
    5300 is good enough and cheaper though

    Atheros 5008/5009 also nice

    If samsung doesn't blacklist wireless cards in BIOS like Hp , then i would the 5300 or 6300 depending on which u can find... most of the 6300s according to ppl are ES so i would stay away from them... 5300 should be all right and not ES... if u wait a while, u'll be able to get a proper 6300...
