    I just recently bought a slightly used nb205 notebook and I really like it.....but with a few upgrades it would be much nicer. I'm definitely getting another gb for the ram and probably going with a 320 or 500gb 7200rpm hard drive as well. Another thing occurred to me though. I know that the wireless is connected by a mini-pcie and I was thinking of going with a draftn capable card. I know the connector would be the same but are all the mini cards the same size? Another thing I was curious about is the internal antenna. There are times when I have to get internet from a pretty good distance but I'd rather have everything inside the computer vice having an external wireless adapter and antenna. Any advice would be appreciated.

    The Atheros card is already "draft N" on the NB205....
