Regarding the query, yes, this is normal behavior for many laptops. Many are designed (unfortunately) with heat-generating circuitry right above/below the cardbus slots. If the card and laptop work correctly, for extended periods of time, then you have nothing to worry about. Just have a pair of tongs handy when you're ready to take it out. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com
