Laptop - Wireless Networking

Currently I have an internal PCI wireless adapter abg.
I am getting an N1 router, and if all goes well, will upgrade my laptop to be able to handle N1 signals.
Now, I am not sure whether I need a Wireless Notebook Card or ExpressCard.
The slot to the side of my laptop is about the length of my little finger and only a few mm's thick. Is there anyway I can find out which one it is?
Also - having 2 wireless options, will they interefere with one another?

I beg to differ. 54mbps vs 300mbps would increase the speed of my net would it not?
I looked up the specs and its express card woo woo.0 -
Yes I can imagine that it won't run at 300mbps but currently I have 20mb broadband and yet can only get 5mb wirelessly. Surely getting an N signalled would increase this?
Also, measured it, its 5cm long which would make it a PCMIA card.

My laptop spec says 1 ExpressCard 54mm Slot :-/ which measuring it gives 54mm.
Now what :-/0 -

I have 3945abg.
Says 40feet I can get 54mbps in Performance? (I am finding it hard to read that text, not spaced out or anything)
And I thought G could go 54mbps as a max wireless?
