    1). Will a Sager 570ru support the Wimax cards by Intel if I buy one in a few months? (I know it said the TU version will but the RU is what im concerned about).

    2). If I use a Wireless N card from a laptop and connect to a wireless G router, would the performance increase from having a wireless N card than a G card connecting to a G router?

    1) i have no clue

    2)G signal can only connect to G signal; so no having a wireless N card will increase your b/w

    1). Why shouldn't work? The WiMAX functionality is software driven.
    2). If you have a G router, then the client's N adapter will switch to G standard, then it will be the same performance than G to G.
