I have a Dell 1545 Inspiron Laptop, would I be able to replace my current card with this one to improve my networking performance?

Your computer is a little aged, I'm not sure you would see much performance. Also to gain full performance from this card, you would need a Wireless AC router.

We would need more information about the model you have. If you can list your computer specifications, I can help you. There are many different Dell XPS models from Dell. If it's a laptop, then no. If it's one of the desktops, then get the specs posted here and we can be of further assistance. Good luck. This card is great.

Hello: "The answer to your question is yes, I replaced two of the 1395 mini card's in my Dell 1525's when, I found out by doing some research, and they work extremely well in my network. To get the most after the installation I updated driver's for free I went to c-Net and downloaded a free driver software called SlimDrivers and that way I can keep all my drivers up to date, and the Intel 4965 AGN Next generation Wireless definitely improved the speed and response time no doubt in my laptop's no doubt." It was well worth the money invested."Work's well with Intel CPU Chip's."

This network card uses either Intel or Broadcom chips. So, you get away with using default drivers, you can also use the chip mfr drivers, or you could still use the HP software. If you are making use of an older server, you'll be fine. But if you have a newer server, I'd highly recommend using the Intel I350T4. It's a faster card if you need gigabit, or go with one of their 10Gbe cards. We purchased the NC364T for an older server.

Yes you can. It network card and Ethernet socket are on the board already (1Gb/s) You do not need PCI card.

You will lose memory bandwidth performance, as the card will only be running at x1 slot bandwidth speed. It will definitely work, but you'll have to find out how much performance reduction you'll get running the card in x1 mode vs x16.

I used this in an upgrade of an Inspiron 1520, and am not sure if it will work in a Vostro 1700. If you computer uses a removable NVidia 8400 GS or 8600 GT, then it should work. Please be certain that your laptop has this card, and is not hardwired in, as Dell has done with certain iterations of their products. If you pop off the keyboard, and unscrew the cover, you should see if it is hardwired or uses a removable-upgradable module. If you do use this module, you will not need thermal paste, as the unit comes preassembled, and is more or less plug and play. To tell you the truth, I did not notice a huge improvement, but the price was right, and it worked well. I did notice a huge improvement by installing an SSD; pages load so much quicker.

The card will likely work as it is a Broadcom at its core. Direct built in support may not exist in the OS but it is highly likely there are drivers that will work. However, you will not be able to use the advanced toolset without Windows and the Killer driver set for it.

If your router has the proper connection and you have the correct software loaded on your Dell, it should work. The only question is if your Dell has a fast enough hard drive so your don't run into buffering issues or timeouts waitin for the hard drive. It has bee my experience that many but not all laptops have slow ahre drives. I recommend at least a 7200 rpm drive. Hope this helps.

Worked as intended on e1705. Look on dell web parts list for your model to see if the e1705 and your model carried the original wifi card.

I think for that computer you need an Airport Extreme card - the one that came out after this one.. Your router should not matter.

The Asus is going to be a better performing card if you have a router that supports AC1700 or AC1900 speeds. If you have an older router that supports N300-N450, it won't matter which card you use. If you have an N router that supports N900 speeds, be sure they are using compatible chipsets, otherwise you will only achieve 450Mbps max possible speeds.

This is an AGP card, If your machine has an AGP slot it will work and you can call dell or look up the specs. Most machines have a PCI or PCI-express graphics slot.

Yes. This card is regular PCI. The Dell website lists that model as having a PCI slot (this card) and a PCI-Express 1.0 slot (other network/add-on cards) on-board. Operating system support goes all the way back to Windows 2000, so you you're fine there.

The answer is no. This card is designed to replace an older 100 mbs network card or to add in a new system. There is no way that two (2) of these cards could be linked together in order to operate as a single network card. If you install two (2) of these cards on your system, you will have the choice to use one or the other. That is one possibility. The other is that the two cards may conflict will each other making it impossible to access the internet.
