Looking to swap out my two cards in the MW and ML for some -N or -ac cards. Anyone have a recommendation on a nice make/model of these cards that seem to have pretty good performance?

How many antennas does the laptop have? 2 or 3? I have the Intel Centrino 6200 (2 antenna connectors). Works great and very cheap.

Two on both, but I only use one on the MW. I saw the 6200, but I believe I need the full sized boards to use them without trying to find a workable adapter. The ones I have seen are for Dell's, but I couldn't tell if there was a universal adpater.

Not sure what you mean about the adapter. The 6200 uses a Mini PCI-E connector. I have one installed in my Asus Laptop and it works fine.
