Hi,

It is not easy to answer this question because it depends on your laptop.

Intel cards operate out of the box because the drivers (and specifications) are provided by Intel, but here, in Switzerland, is most expensive... 80 to $170

I did it to a portable HP Pavilion dv6000, I replace a original Broadcom Mini-PCI card for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter ($120 in Switzerland)
