Will I notice a difference between a 150Mbps wireless card and a 300Mbps card?

Honestly, I don't think you will. Because I have both, and neither is faster than the other, when watching download speeds.

I believe that in order to get 300Mbps speeds, you really need to be paying for some seriously fast internet. I had one of those slide in notebook cards, a Netgear, it's max was 54Mbps, & I never maxed that out. Yet I could download a 700MB Linux OS install disc in less than 10 minutes, and I now have a straight connection, & it's no faster.

Also, the 300Mbps are of the "N" band, which can only match up with a "N" wireless router (as far as speeds goes). Yes, it'll connect to a "G" router, but "G" doesn't produce these speeds.

Best of Luck,
Cat
 
I think it depends on the bandwidth of the wired connection. I have both an N NIC and an N wireless router, but the bandwidth I'm paying from my ISP is 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. Most speed tests I do max out at those figures.

802.11n has a maximum bandwidth of 600Mbps, but again this can only be achieved dependent on the bandwidth of the actual connection. Most home users wouldn't need those bandwidth rates anyhow (enterprise would I suppose).
 
You guys seem to forget that wireless is used for more than just internet, some folks use it as a method to transfer files from say a pc to their laptop et al.
