Solved! Is it possible to replace wifi cards in netbooks?

I'm sure it is, but do regular laptop wireless cards fit? The wireless card on my wind kinda sucks and I want to get a powerful wireless n card if possible. Thanks!

You'll have to disassemble the netbook to get access to do the upgrade.
Here is a Youtube video showing how: MSI Wind Wi- Fi Wireless Card Upgrade / Replace
And a blog report mentioning a replacement wireless card part number

I already have it disassembled, just wanted to know if a regular laptop wireless will fit. And if my comp refuses to post with my new ram but will post with old, you think thats a sign the mem is bad? Was trying to go from 1 gig to 2 gig single channel

ty for the link btw. I just want an N card with really good range but low power draw. The card in my u110 sucks for some reason, doesnt stay connected and never has a good signal
