Upgrading WIFI card on G74SX?

Hey.

I was wondering if any of you know where I can buy a Intel 6200/6300 Wireless N x64 card to replace the built in atheros one with?

I've tried searching around on google, but not found anything yet.

Would greatly appreciate any help! 🙂

I got mine from provantage.com

Which one did you get? 6200 or 6300?
And is it easy to install in the machine?

Yeah, it's easy. Open the bottom, and undo one screw, and pop off the 2 antenna. It should angle up for easy removal. Reverse to install.

Thanks Chastity!

Since there are only 2 antenna cables in there, I'm going to go with the 6200 card.

I'd get the 6300, and have the option to upgrade with the third antenna down the road. Price difference between them is like $8 🙂 You can also get a 6250 and have a WiMAX option. ($45)

Damnit, I've tried ordering the 6300 card now, but neither provantage nor amazon will ship it to Norway. (Which is kind of crucial since I live there..)
Any ideas as to who might ship these internationally? I can't understand why they wouldn't..

Can't find any Norwegian retailers carrying these either.

Thanks, but already found a Norwegian retailer which made shipping real cheap in contrast to the international shipping.
All in all it cost me 46$ for the 6300 card, and installation was cake. Enjoying it! 🙂
