    I'm thinking of buying an Asus laptop, and I want to buy my own wireless LAN card after I get the laptop, is it possible for me to install the card onto my computer? Or is the wireless LAN card non-installable like video cards?

    Here's what I want to buy...

    Yes since the Intel 4965 is a PCIe(Express) card Mini Card

    Installaion will go some thing like this

    <object width='425' height='350'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5_N9akR7T0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5_N9akR7T0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width='425' height='350'></embed></object>

    look around 3:00

    The video is of the Asus s96j with the Intel 3954 Mini PCIe card.

    Ugh, hooking up those antennas royally sucks.

    As long as it's a mini-PCI-Express card, it will work.
