Hi.
the second one has draft-n the first does not.

I have an 4965AGN.

wireless "n" is the new "speed," it's way faster than g.
HOWEVER it is technically draft-n... it's not finished and has all kinds of bug and connection errors.
n cards are usually at least g compatible.. so if you have a g network it should work.. but to take advantage of n, you need a n router/network
i would just get the standard abg card. -
I have an N router (D-Link DIR-655) and it works great! N is definetly worth it compared to G. Although, you will need to get an N router if you dont have one, but its a worthwhile investment.
