should have done a search, sorry!

Yes, the 2915 by far is way better
-
I vote neither, but if you must decide between the two go for the 2915.

Why neither? The 2915 is a pretty strong card for Intel at least
-
Because after I got screwed with my 2200 I am still bitter towards Intel. I guess I could buy an external card but that is beside the point of getting an internal card. Oh Well, S#!t happens.
Tim -
So, does that mean the 2915 card is going to be horrible as well?

I've been on a 2915ABG for 5 months now . . never had an issue. I use the generic Windows wireless software, simple yet works very well.
I have had Broadcom cards before - those were nice as well. A bit easier to find information on the Intel cards, as well as drivers.
tim, I can understand why you are bitter towards Intel for the 2200 fiasco. -
Timu24 have you NOT read anything on the forums about the Atheros group buy????
If you're thinking about an external card, DON'T. Go to the buy/sell section on this site and check out the LOoooooooooooooooooooooong thread on the Firebretha Atheros group buy thingy. Awesome card.
I say if you're in an area with little wireless traffic the Intel 2915 should be fine, but if you're going to be in areas with a lot of wireless traffic, go for the atheros.
The 2915 is leaps and bounds better than the 2200, as I have used both, but the Atheros just takes the cake guys. Takes it and eats it, and then barfs it up and eats it again. Ewww.
Cheers,

What's better, 2200 or 2915?
