    Hi All,

    How hard is it to upgrade the wireless card in a Dell Inspiron 1564?

    I foolishly purchased the laptop with a 1397 minicard and would like to swap it out. It's slow and keeps dropping of the network

    Is there any particular card i should look for? Do any cards other than the Dell 1510 work?

    One thing at a time i guess, but i would also like to retrofit a bluetooth adapter - any advice on this as well?
