    Hi,

    I just wanted some advise, i have a Samsung x60plus.
    I have read meny threads and done much research, but i just want to be 100% positive before i make my choice.
    Currently the laptop has an Intel 3945ABG (intel 945GM chipset) which i beleve is dieing as it keeps dropping from 54mb down to 1/2mb and wont go back unless it is turned off and on again, even if i am sitting next to the access point.
    I dont care much for an increase in speed as 54mb seams fine for everything i do, but i would like a boost in distance.
    I was looking at an Intel 5100AGN card is it has "N" functionality (which i assume would give me grater coverage even if i still use A/G networks mostly) and it uses 2 antennas which the laptop has built in (i dont have time to install another antenna).
    So really would i get that boost in distance on this perticular card or would i be better choosing the 4965AGN/5300AGN and hooking up only two antennas(assuming it will work with only two antennas)

    thank you in advance!
