    I just dropped one of these bad boys into my GX640. I used the latest drivers from Intels site and I see 3 wifi networks where I used to see one.

    For me this is nice, this will help with all the weak wifi in all the hotels I stay at.

    Nice! Did you plug in the spare antenna? The old wifi card has 2 connectors but there is a spare antenna taped next to it.

    Actually I don't know does "Genna" means something in english. I just like how it looks and it basically corresponds to the way my friend call me. :)
    So, no ... I'm not a girl. :)
