    Hey guys,

    I'm about to get a M860TU from EuroCom and they want almost $90 bucks for the Intel 5300 :mad:

    I found one on eBay for $25 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Wifi-5300-MIMO-802-11N-N-Mini-PCI-E-Wireless-Card_W0QQitemZ370141677022QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item370141677022&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50)

    and I'm wondering if its the same one EuroCom would have used, and if I could install it myself.

    Thanks for your time :cool:

    $90? :eek: That looks like it will work fine. The 860TU has a standard mini PCI-E slot for a Wireless Card. Should be no problem installing it yourself. :)
