Oh :o)

I'd say either is a good bet in any case. If >your laptop has room for a

Yeah, I just found a cool page about working cards and both of the cards I
was looking at are an OK working status :o)
http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/CardStatus.html

I don't really know anything about laptops at all, how would I tell if I
have room for a TypeIII card? I was thinking about getting a wireless card
aswell, it might be kinda handy to have them both plugged in at the same
time if I can. I am guessing I won't be able to do that anyway though?

Thanks again!!!
