How important, within the next few years? Is it worth to spent extra $$ for a wireless card that has 'n'?
-
IMHO, not at all for current, but in a few years who knows It really depends on your needs and network, N usually has better range and does have higher transfer rates but for 99% of non multimedia applications I find it overkill
-
less important than an N router
-
Forgive me Tinselworm but I have to correct you a GOOD N router, too many of them seem to have lots of cute features but lousy stability and range
-
well, the point being that it is pointless having an N card without an N router
-
Basically a lot of places still only use b/g - I really wouldn't recommend bothering unless you know where you need it.
Also, I believe company networks can cost a few thousands...
I doubt companys will want to redesign their infrastructure if they use wi-fi...
You could get a card with draft n too... I believe this would work with n and should be cheaper...
(My laptop has draft n - do I need it? No... - but there was no option on it) -
It's not really worth it at the moment, particularly if you'll be replacing the system in a few years anyway.

Geez, it's a $30-50 upgrade for most computers. If you can get a laptop with it, just get it. Extra range and fast download speeds. Using it right now and glad I made the upgrade with Dell.

i think i have it but my wireless router supports only b/g. I'll soon buy a wireless n router. IMHO it's worth every penny as the range it greater. The g is too weak. It's in my room upstairs but i cannot even use it while my laptop is with me in the garden..

How important is it to get an 'n' card?
