    Is it possible? Just curious, I'm not really planning on it until way way later if it's even possible.

    Is it a standard notebook within 3-4 years old? If it is, it should be mini PCI-Express and any modern Wifi card should work.

    Any older you might be looking at mini PCI, which is a different bus connector.

    Awesome :eek: Thanks a lot. I'll probably be buying a new router soon so it would be nice to have a wifi card taht can take advantage of the extra speed.
