I believe that there isn't a "standard" for the wireless N technology yet. Different brands are working with their own equipment. Companies are probably waiting to see if there is going to be a demand for this product in the near future before jumping on any upgrading their internal cards.

As far as I know, the first intel card with N will come with Santa Rosa and Socket P, either in 1Q or 2Q of 2007.

wireless n is like wirelesss broadband/t1, it supports speed of up to 1000mbs i think, or 100mbs, not sure which, but chances are you wont have a wireless n network near you, so why would you want a card? and you dont want a wireless n broadcast station near you cuz in sweden, they opened a wireless n broadcast station, and as soon as they turned it on, people had to go to the hospital becuase of headaches, nausea, migraines, and other symptoms, but as soon as they turned it off, all the people in the hospital got better and went home

Some basic comparison Wireless G / Wireless N
Average Data Rate: 25 Mbit/s / 200 Mbit/s
Max Data Rate: 54 Mbit/s* / 540 Mbit/s
Expected indoor Range 30m / 50m

* though D link with Wireless Extreme doubles the Max data rate of Wireless G

Now the Big difference is MiMo which stands for Multiple input Multiple output
basically it is like having a bunch of cards connecting to a bunch of receivers to decrease your chance of a dropped signal allowing things like VoIP ( voice over IP ) to be feasible with a Wireless LAN.

I have not read of Wireless N causing headaches and such on a wide scale, I would take that post with a grain of salt, its just like Cell phone use gives you tumors, its speculative at best.
