    On average, I was wondering if you can upgrade to a draft N network card from a regular Intel wireless card.

    More than likely. The MiniPCI slots are standard more or less. But Draft N is basically useless. I'd wait until the actual 802.11N standard comes around. Not to mention most anywhere you'd connect, 802.11G is the fastest you'll get.

    Yea Pitabred is right, tons of magazines reviewed it and said the speed and range had actually decreased as opposed to the 802.11G standard.
