    as long as you have PCMIA slot then it will take any wireless card....just make sure you get the right data link protocol (ie IEEE 802.11g) for your wireless router

    ieee 802.11b is old and slow

    ieee 802.11g is the most widely used and is more than enough for most users

    ieee 802.11n is the newer and better of the others but costs more and is faster (the g/n cards are backwards compatable with b)

    so depends on what you want to spend

    (check the specs on the box first as your laptop may not be powerful enough to run them though)
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right
