    thejdj - What adapter did you end up going with? I also have a 1501 that I want to upgrade to wireless-N.

    -Thanks

    The Intel 4965AGN Mini-Card on the Dell site says min OS is Win Vista, I have XP Pro, do you think that will be an issue?

    I ordered an Intel 4965AGN (non Dell part) module from another seller. I will post again after I install and test it.

    There are XP drivers available, so I don't see why it would not work.
