Upgrading to Intel Next-Gen Wireless Card-N - Possible? How?

I just purchased an XPS M2010 with an Intel Pro Wireless Card. I wish to upgrade the wireless card to an Intel Next-Gen Wireless Card N. Is this possible, and how would you do this? Also, what specific Intel Next-Gen Wireless Card-N should I get, because I know there are several kinds that might not be compatible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    That shouldn't be a problem, but you'll have to cancel your order and re-purchase.

    Check which card is offered on the XPS M2010 'Customize' page, and order that one ;)

    Well, I actually have the computer, physically, and I bought it off of eBay. I was more so wondering if I could personally upgrade the wireless card to a Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N, what specific card it should be, and how to actually, if possible, insert the card into the computer.

    Yes, you can.  Google "Wireless N Mini Card"  for a ton of links to the cheapest one you can find.  You put it in the mini PCI-E slot on your laptop.  You take out the old one and put in the new - install the drivers and you're good to go :D
