    Neither. Intel 5100 is really troublesome and 1000 is a low end card.
    If anything I'd go with 5100 but it's like choosing a poison based on taste ;)

    Intel 6230 is a mid-range card with BT. Intel 5300 doesn't have a BT module but it a very good card from a previous generation of Intel cards so you can likely find one for peanuts.

    Good to hear your comments on the 5300! I just put one in my old Dell Inspiron 1720 and it's working just fine.
