    Okay I don't know how to word this but what is the correct name for a WIFI card that fit's in the CQ62-238dx model??? Like the correct name for a video card would be agp, pci, or pci-express, and ram would be sd-ram, ddr-ram, ddr2... sorry if the questions is stupid :D

    The slot for a wireless card on your motherboard is Mini PCI Express.

    Thank you for helping me out. I was trying to look it up on ebay but nobody really posted what the slot was called.

    I was just posting the video card and ram as an example just to clarify what I was trying to say. Sorry if my questions was confusing. Thank you guys for the help once again.

    Except for really old wireless cards, all recent(2007 and up) are mini PCI-E.
