Which wireless card in new computer???

I'm looking at getting a Zino direct from dell. It gives me the option of two wireless cards but I'm not sure which one I should be going for. The options are:

Dell Wireless 1397 Mini Card (802.11 b/g)

Dell Wireless 1520 Half Mini Card (802.11n)

Both are £20. Can anyone tell me which one is best to go for.

Thanks

Kel

    Thanks guys.

    I don't suppose either of you know anything about the dell Zino. I've looked online and the reviews seem ok. We want a new desktop, but don't want anything with a big processor as we don't have the space. Just want it for surfing the web and office documents. I'm guessing this will be ok for this??
