    I've been using a pretty high power 200mw SMC wireless card in my 3150. I've been having some problems with heat though. Whenever I've got lots of activity on the wireless side it will seem to get absolutly smoking. Almost like the plastic/metal is absorbing alot of the energy.
    Has anyone else run into a similar issue?

    Also has anyone been able to get Motherboard monitor or a similar program running?
    Thanks

    I have noticed heat with this laptop - but with all the other laptops I've owned also. All that energy needs to go somewhere...I try to always use a magazine to put the laptop on if it actually sits in my lap.
