looking at an e1200 for an apartment

[Lkr]

I'm moving into an apartment for school and i'm looking at an e1200. not sure how congested the 2.4GHz spectrum will be, but I can assume it will be quite congested. My laptop does not have a 5GHz card, and that is really the only thing I will have wireless unless my friends want to hop on. I'm not doing much networking, I'm just sharing the internet connection to my ps3, xbox, and laptop. like most people, i enjoy being able to be wireless on my laptop to watch a netflix movie or something, but i'm not sure if 2.4GHz will provide a problem with this.

choosing among channels 1, 6 or 11 ideally, no doubt you'll find one that's fine. It's not the number of nearby WiFi devices (based on an SSID scan inventory), but rather, it's whether the one on/near your channel is habitually "busy". This means heavy bittorrent or video streaming.
