    Hi

    I ordered the t61p part number 646067U.

    On this beauty, the wireless type is Intel PRO/Wireless WiFi 4965AGN

    On other t61 proposed, I see

    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a disabled)

    Shoud I must worry about this?

    Is one of them is more efficient than another?

    Thank you to help me (a newbie in laptop) figure out the difference.

    Most places use 802.11g, but N is "supposedly" going to be replace it in the coming years. B was replaced by G, and A is supposedly for businesses - but I have yet to see many A networks. A is only really good in the fact that it operates @ the 5Ghz band and can therefore have less interference over common 2.4Ghz devices.
