    was thinking of upgrading to wireless-n in my house but my dv6000z only has wireless-g

    is there a compatible internal wireless-n card that i can buy?

    if not does anyone have any recommendations on expresscards as i dont really want a usb card, feel like im gonna break it off

    Find the part # in the service guide for your notebook or partsurfer.hp.com, search for that # on eBay, swap it in, hope for the best. If the part isn't in the BIOS whitelist your notebook won't boot. HP is the only manufacturer I know of that uses these infernal whitelists.

    Then check the service guide. Go to the downloads page for your notebook on hp.com and click the Manuals link on the left-hand side.
