Which wireless card should I buy?

I'm planning to buy a new Latitude D620 and I'm wondering which wireless card to get. I don't really care about compatibility with 802.11a, so I was planning to go with the Dell 1390.

However, I noticed that the Intel a/b/g card is an "upgrade" from the Dell 1490 (since it costs more). Does the Intel card perform better? If I'd get significantly better performance, it might be worth the upgrade even though I don't need the extra compatibility.

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, it's $10 more, right? I'd spring the extra $10 even though wireless-a is completely outdated. Me, myself am not too happy with the 1390. It doesn't seem to connect to all networks when I want it to, I am waiting for a 1500 MiniCard (wireless-n capability) to arrive in the mail since I am setting up a home wireless-n network.

Your friendly neighborhood techie,

Tony
