    I dont know if you guys have noticed this or ever owned both wireless cards, but i have and i have pro's/ con's for both that were big for me.

    Range = Killer 1103 wins hands down
    I can pick up wifi signals i never knew existed in my house with this new wireless card.

    Speed I would say both are about the same I never noticed a difference

    Reliability = Intel
    With the Intel wireless card i never had any problems with connectivity just a little lag connecting from the start. With the Killer 1103 Works great but for some reason will not allow some of my programs to use the internet at some points and that is with the program control off.

    Cost = intel
    Its cheaper and you get a good wifi card
    But im willing to pay more for the ability to pick up more wifi signals and able to natively control program access.

    There are my 2 cents i like the killer 1103 more but i have different priorities than most.

    I'm actually having some disappointing results on my Bigfoot Killer 1102 on the Clevo W110ER. Compared to my roommates' wireless computers, mines seems to be less stable and possibly slower. One of them has the Intel 6300 but the other has a stock wireless card and we tested them in similar environments.

    I figured I would stick with stock and then if I am unhappy with results buy a better card down the line.. after seeing these results I think I may try for an upgrade off the bat.
