    You can purchase them from many online retailers or resellers. :)

    I would have thought New Egg would carry this but searching comes up with no results. You can view one here or many other resellers should have it also.

    The Intel 965 chipset is the only one that supports the 3 leads necessary for the Intel 4965 'n' card.

    Got it. Just watched a movie , and there was a guy named Don, seemed to stay stuck in my head...
    So I guess my HP nx9420 won`t be getting a new wifi card.
    I know the theoretical speed on the older card is 54mbps, and I got it working at about 24 mbps once, how does the new type do? I don`t carry my M570RU that much so I could not say how good it really is. ( I don`t carry it that much for 2 reasons..poor battery life compared to my Hp- 1.5 h versus 3.5 hours... and 2) annoying fans...wish I could reduce the noise from them or cool the laptop eve further, got kicked out of a library because of it :D )
