Re: wireless internet help???
I actually found one benefit of keeping the stock dell internal wireless card in my laptop instead of upgrading to the Intel one, the dell is compatible with OS X and intel isn't 
You'd think it would be the other way around.

I may be mistaken, but the 200mW cards are technically against FCC regulation for consumer use, too much power. They get sold by small vendors without problem, but Linksys had to remove a high power product last year because it was targeted at the consumer.

Yup.
There's even a USB flavor with external antenna provision for sale on ebay currently, I think there's a half day left on it. It's probably overkill, I doubt you're going to turn into an antenna freak, the normal one you've already found will be several times stronger than what you're working with now.

EUB-362 va the EUB-862 units you've been looking at.

Antennas are effective use of power, but there isn't actually any more power being pushed between the two models. Antennas are also big factors on how well you recieve. Prepare to pay $40-70 for a good antenna plus $15 for a pigtail adapter to mate it to your card. If you e-stalk the Quality antenna manufacturers, sometimes they sell their stuff on eBay if it's scratched for a good bit off normal sale price.

Some antennas come with a length of low-loss cable, some don't. The adapter pigtails range from a few inches to a foot or two, IIRC. If the antenna doesn't come with a cable you're going to want to buy one because the pigtail by itself won't cut it.
