Which wireless card to get?

I think I am going to finally get an 8600. I am just trying to decide between the 1400 and the 1300 wireless.

I know it seems insignifigant... I was going to immediately go with the 1400, but it seems like it isn't all that it is cracked up to be.

Any suggestions?

1400 is a waste of money the only gain is the 5 ghz frequency for A connections very VERY few people use this

I disagree Dell that it is a waste of money. Its only 30 more and you get a speed with b range. Yes most don't use g but it is becoming more and more common.
