    I'm looking to get a dell, either XPS 1330 or inspiron 13, from dell outlet (whenever a new coupon comes out :D ). However, there aern't many that come with the intel 4965 wireless card I want. If I get one with the dell wireless card, all i have to do to replace it is take the dell one out, install the 4965, then download the driver right? Anyone had any probs with this install? Sorry for such a newbie question, I'm still a young padowan. Thanks to all who reply. ERIKgENERIK.
