I tried the Dell card, and the range was wretched. I also had a Netgear MA701 card and the Dell card had about 1/3 the range of the Netgear. I really couldn't believe how bad it was. The only time I could get 100% signal on the card was within 5 feet of the router. Needless to say, I returned it.

On the plus side, the antenna is very thin (which probably accounts for the poor range). I didn't keep it long enough to see how it was on power.

Personally, I'd recommend the Socket if money isn't such a big deal - it's the best on power and smaller than some of the other cards. If money is an issue, go for the Linksys or the Netgear.
