    I've been waiting for my Dell Dollars coupon to arrive so now I'm ready to order some things, I need a bluetooth card for a Dell E1505 and Studio 15.

    Dell E1505 (Vista) - Is the 355 Bluetooth card (Dell Part# 430-1795) for $20 the same as the 350 Bluetooth card (Dell Part# 341-3510) for $60? One of these cards is the one I want for the E1505 right?

    Dell Studio 15 (Vista) - Is the 370 Bluetooth card (Dell Part# 430-3209) for $20, the 370 Bluetooth card (Dell Part# 430-3342) for $30 and the 370 Refurbished (Dell Part# M960G) for $11 all the same cards? There are way too many similar card for me to keep straight.

    Besides physically installing the card will I get a disc included with drivers or will I need to go to Dell's site to download them? During installation do you keep Windows from installing drivers?

    Hey somms your post you linked to is a little confusing to me do I want to install the 6.1.0.4700 driver from Dell's site or 6.1.0.5100 from Lenova's site?

    If I need to use the 6.1.0.5100 driver how do I go about extracting 52bl05ww.exe to a folder using WinRAR, I've aready installed WinRAR and downloaded 52bl05ww.exe to my desktop but don't know what to do next?
