    I went with it for my dell and while it is more than adequate for your ordinary wireless needs, I would recommend going with the wireless N.

    The wireless N has stronger signal strength, more range, and is compatible with new wireless platforms.

    Could I upgrade to wireless N in the future?

    an N card will fit in the slot but they require three antennas, the regular AG cards have two antennas.

    you could connect a N-card say the intel 4965 using only to antennas instead of three and it will work but i cant say how good the signal reception
