    OK i am confused on this one.. all specs state on intels site that its supports widi.. but yet it doesnt work when you DL the app for it? Ive been told you need another card all together for it to work..

    so what the deal.. any one ever get this to work with this card or do you need another seperate card with the 6250?

    Intels site makes it looks like this card will do widi with just this card..

    honestly I never set one up, I only looked into it cause it seem really useful.. those adapter is not that expensive on ebay.
    Here is a more clear direction by intel (I would expect a shorter/easier to read one but meh)
    Intel® Wireless Display — Intel® WiDi support for Intel® Insider, Blu-Ray and DVD playback, surround sound

    And one more thing, I read most of stuff but I still don't know if it can use as a extended desktop or it just play video.............. I think what dell offer with the alienware can be use as desktop/game......

    finally, nvida is pushing it's own wireless display soon...
