    I have everything else config'd except for the wireless card. Is getting N worth it for the extra 50$?

    Only if you have a wireless-N router or plan to get one later.

    I would hold off till the spec is finalized before buying a router. PC card are fine since they use the pc's cpu and ram to handle the process.

    On NB yes, you need it pre-wired with 3 antennas.
