    hi , since my dell 1500 has poor performance with my netgear WNR854T ( I get only 22mbit .. yes bit per sec) , i've decided maybe to do an upgrade.

    since I've seen here alot of knowledgeable people here , i've decided to ask you which one would be the most compatible (with 802.11n , I need the highest actual speed avaliable) with my router .. is it this one :

    http://www.sparklan.com/product_details.php?prod_id=176

    or is it the intel 4965agn ?

    I own Inspiron 1705 if that matter , I know it have only 2 antennas , but heard people saying that should be enough for 270mbps.

    i'll appreciate your opinions.
    thanks

    The best thing to do is get a wireless card with the same chipset as your wireless router (if you're going down the N route).

    I hope you realize that this won't affect internet speeds at all... it'll just affect your local network file transfer speeds. This is because your internet connection will be much slower than 22 Mbps.
