Which PCI-E Wifi card?

    Just got a new laptop (lenovo G570). It has an Atheros AR9285 WiFi card which tops out at 150mbps. On my old laptop, I upgraded the card to an Intel 5300 and was able to get 300mbps. Unfortunately I cannot swap them out cos the new laptop takes half card size.

    So, just wondering will I go with another 5300 in half card size or is there some new better miracle PCI-E Wifi card out there that I should be aware of? What would you recommend?

    Many thanks

    Your laptop has a PCI-E Slot?

    *facepalm*

    I never knew that slot was PCI, would have always just called it a minicard slot. Derp.
