Intel card from Buy.com

[memo]

Buy.com's Intel 2200 card

NewEgg's Intel 2200 Card

Now Buy.com's in considerably cheaper but says "Mfg Part#: WM3B2200BGMWWB2" where as NewEgg says "Model# WM3B2200BGMWWB". I am sure they are probably the same and buy.com is having a sale maybe, but I just wanted to make 100% sure if someone knew why the extra 2 is at the end of Buy.com's card.

Thanks guys.

EDIT: On a side not this is for a Dell 4150. I am pretty sure it'll work but just wanted to cover all my bases and see if someone had a pain making this combo work.

Newegg is OEM, where as the Buy.com card doesn't say, so it should be retail.

Don't know why the retail would be cheaper than OEM, but Newegg hasn't had the best prices lately.

Will that go in a standard PCI slot ? There's noting to secure the card ???

I believe these cards are for laptops, specifically Centrinos.

They are MiniPCI. You open up the laptop and put it in there.

Yeah its pretty cool, its just like a pci slot but for a laptop. just put it in and attach the antenna hopefully. Its bizarre because buy.com is 28 whereas everyone else on pricegrabber is 40+. oh well. we shall see.

They are mini PCI. They go INSIDE the laptop. Most newer ones atleast Centrino setups use these. Mine does atleast and I am pretty sure most others have one of these slots.

EDIT: wups haha I have been playing CS:source and never answer the question and then never refreshed when I came out wups ehhe.
