    What Wireless mini card to choose between?

    Dell™ Wireless 1505 a/b/g/n Mini-Card
    Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 a/b/g/n Mini-Card

    Any suggestion or recommendation?

    Cheers,

    Fabio

    Personally I'd probably go with Intel because I like their software/drivers better.

    In terms of performance, I have no clue as I don't have any Draft-N products.

    I agree. The Dell cards typically use a Broadcom chip, which has fewer features, worse drivers and and typically worse reception from my experience.
