PCMCIA vs Mini PCI network cards

I have a latitude C610. I bought used on ebay. I purchased a PCMCIA Netgear WAG511 network card, as my laptop lacks an internal wireless card. I was wondering, which is better for bringing in a signal? Is the PCMCIA card better or the internal mini PCI?

The next question is, will my C610 accept any mini pci card nic? I am doubtful I will replace the card I have, unless I find a great deal, but from a curiousity stand point, I need to know. Do you have to purchase a Dell part, or is it pretty much anything goes?

Thanks
