Wireless n for Inspiron 530s

Does anyone have any suggestions for a PCI-e low profile wireless n card for a Dell Inspiron 530s.  The Dell 1505 Wireless-N PCI Express Card for Desktops sounds like it would be suitable. 

http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&cs=ukdhs1&sku=555-11375

This card is used in the Studio Slim and the new Inspiron 545ST both of which are low profile cases.  Yet the link only lists Optiplex 740 MT/DT/SF / 330 MT/DT / 755 MT/DT/SF as compatible!  And the picture is not very good either as it represents a mini wireless laptop card, not one which would need aerials and a bracket for a desktop.

Has anyone bought the above card, for a desktop, slim line or normal and could give some advice.

Thanks

    I would suggest using either a USB  adaptor or a wireless bridge like WGA600N

    N is still in draft status. To get optimum connection the rule of thumb is to buy the same brand as your wireless router.
