    Just a quick note to let the web know because I couldn't find any success stories before I went ahead and tried it.

    I successfully upgraded the CPU of my aging R720 to a T9800. While I had it open I replaced the WiFi card with an Intel 6235 (300 mbit 5 GHz).

    Everything working beautifully except the 6235's Bluetooth.

    It now serves as my wife's light gaming machine.
