    Does anybody know what the differences are between the two draft wireless N that Dell offers? The 1505 and Intel 4965. I know the 1505 is Broadcom, thats all I know.

    Thanks,
    N

    That is the major difference... The 1505 is broadcom and thus cheaper... They offer the Intel card because in order for the computer to be a "Centrino" it needs that Intel card...

    Also, for users like me, Intel cards play nicer in open source environments.

    I have the Dell card (pretty much flipped a coin since they were the same price) and it works just fine.
