    I've got a SZ120pb and was wondering if there is a upgrage path to pre-n. I was able to replace the micro pci wi-fi card in one of my older HP's, just not sure if Sony has the same flexibility.

    thanks

    The SZ-Series belongs to the Centrinos, so it is fully compatible to INTELs 4965 AGN wireless card, also to other mini-pcie cards.

    I would go with the Intel, because I think it should be still working with the Sony Wireless Switch Util.

    Why upgrade now? I would wait until the standard is fully figured out.

    thanks for the info, TinyRK. i guess the next question is if they can be installed in the SZ and when the little boogers come out. I couldn't find any on the intertubes
