Wireless 3945ABG vs 4965AGN Network w/Bluetooth

[Gautam]

Note: Here is the big thing that the wireless router companies are saying about Draft-N being "draft": You will be able to update the card with a BIOS update went 802.11n is no longer draft.

I think you mean Firmware update, but same idea. Apple recently had such an upgrade from g to pre-n on their MacBooks...so the idea you speak of is certainly possible assuming the hardware of n cards do not change significantly (in the ratification specs).

I'd get the 4965 if I had a pre/draft-N router or knew I was getting one soon. Otherwise, the 3945 is going to be JUST fine speedwise.

Yes, your right. Sorry, it was getting late.

...it really cracks me up what threads people post in sometimes!

Generally, all wireless routers will work with your laptop. I'd recommend an 802.11g router to avoid any issues with 802.11n, which you may have to do advanced PC troubleshooting if problems arise.

In the past 5 years I've gone through about 5 wireless routers due to drop out problems. So far, dLink has worked the best for me. I use the "gamer wireless router" and never have any connection issues: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=370&#DGL-4300

Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965A/G/N Network Connection with Bluetooth <<<=== ???? WITH BLUE TOOTH?? Uhmmm didn't know it had Blue tooth included. I ripped out this card as it would not allow me to get a speed more then 150 Mbps with my Dlink Dir-655 router. I replaced it with an Gigabyte card and am a very happy camper 300 Mbps all the time. I still have the Intel card but when I bought this laptop it did not say Bluetooth was also part of the deal which I found a shame as it is for me anyways as common as wifi... could you please elaborate on this , tnx

The HP site says Bluetooth is included when you upgrade to 4965. Bluetooth is NOT part of the 4965 card.
