I'm replacing my HP laptop wireless card cause it's really terrible within my house and the campus i go to school, I cant even get a **** signal in my own campus library!!. The only mini-pcie cards i can find it those two. Now is there any difference between the two? except the 4965 has more extras like N wireless (i think) and like 20$ difference.
So.. should i spend 20$ more on the 4965 or buy the 3945 (will i notice a difference between the one im using now) . Note i am using broadcom 802.11b/g wlan.

well I dunno, do you want n wireless or what?

i dunno
is there a difference with wireless internet strengths if i got the n wireless one?

For the benefits of wireless N in your laptop, you need:
3 antennas (if your laptop only came with G, you might only have two)
A wireless N access point
Yes, it is theoretically faster (however you probably won't see a difference), but the signal is much stronger. Here's the question: The library probably only has wireless G, so you have to find that out. And at home to get the benefits of Wireless N, you will have to purchase a wireless N router.
