    The first one is the right one. The second one will not fit inside your computer. Anyone here can correct me if I'm wrong though.

    Not sure what that revision is all about but the first one should work. May not hurt to give the revised one a shot though.

    cool stuff, keep us updated! got myself the 7260 as well and so far very happy with it :) stronger signal, way higher throughput and very easy, no-fuss hardware/driver installation, totally worth the investment :)

    Maybe revised because the 7260 is widely known for bad signal. You speeds drop to 2mbs from 300mbs and you have to restart adapter. Google it . swapped to a killer wireless and no problems since

    This was driver related.

    Intel fixed it (reportedly) in the 17.x+ version of the drivers.

    I have the 17.x drivers (latest) on my AC 7260 and I get a strong, stable, and very fast connection.
