I have a bought a wireless mini pci board to go in my Thinkpad X23 so that I don't have to keep plugging in an external USB or PCMCIA card.

I also got the aerial to go with it but reception is naff.

The aerial (wires) has two wires that plus on the card and i've routed this around the periphery of the screen.

Is this correct - any help or details of how it should be set out?

I have been a faithful Intel user for a while and mostly because I'm not sure how AMD works. they don't seem to ever have the GHz measurment on them. what is the order of them? (ex: Celeron, Pentium 1, pentium 2 pentium 3.... and so on, except in AMD) what is AMD's version of the Core 2 Duo, and is it better than Intel's?
