    i get my XPS m1330 with a crappy g card because i was planning to do the switch with my old Inspiron 1420 with the intel 4965AGN card. i did. the thing is that my XPS is running hot just under the WLAN card cover, is there anybody experiencing the same issue?
    is this normal?
    thanks!

    If it's not much different,it might be the extra power of n band.I am not sure though.

    It's normal to run hot where the WiFi card is on the XPS 1330 and 1530.

    My 4965 is running hot as well, and I know that it's the card because I've felt it but I don't know why
