    If I choose option 2, I heard I will lose "CENTRINO", what exactly will I lose and does it really matter.

    Also is the second one, the only one that is atheros?


    1. Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [add $4.75]
    2. ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ
    3. Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN [add $42.75]

    Centrino is nothing more than a marketing term. To be Centrino approved, the laptop must have a certain Intel chipset, Intel wireless card, and Intel CPU.

    Option 2 is the only Atheros Wireless card.
