How to upgrade Mini-PCI wireless card in my 600m
Hi,
I've got a Dell 600m with a Intel 802.11b Mini-PCI card built in. I want to upgrade to a 802.11g card. Can I do that myself? If so, how much of a procedure is it compared to, let's say, adding memory? Also, which card is the best one to get?

I reccomend the TrueMobile dell cards - the TM 1350 (b/g) or its successor TM 1370. For the a/b/g get the TM 1450 or TM1470. Don't bother with Intel cards.

You can use the Dell wireless 1350 or 1370 mini PCI cards. If you want and Intel card then you can use the 2200BG model
The procedure is very simple as the link below shows

Though some really don't like the card, and for good reasons, I have found
it stable and reliable.

I first purchased an Intel 2200BG, but it didn't work with my router in WEP mode (Linksys WCG200). I then picked up a Dell 1450 on eBay for $30. It works great also in WEP mode. My previous card was an Intel 2100 which I had no problems with but it didn't support 802.11g.
Thank you, and the others that responded for help.
