    Hey, I have an inspiron 8600 with the 128 meg ati radeon 9600. I've been reading up about the GPU and how hot it gets, and was wondering if people have had any problems in terms of damage to the card. I want to put some games like ut2k4 and far cry on it, but after hearing how hot the card gets I'm starting to second guess myself. Also, I know that there's the option to mod it to be cooler, but I'm hesitant about doing all that stuff and working inside the notebook. Thanks for any suggestions you can give.
