    Hello,

    I'm planning on purchasing a dv4000 and I've heard of the trouble with the Intel wlan chip, so I'll be going with the Broadcom. Is the Broadcom integrated, or is it a pc card? HP's site seems to indicate that it's integrated, but I saw a post here that said it was a pc card. Thanks for helping with this.

    my 'integrated' card is just a mini pci card which can be removed. you do have to unscre a cover but after that it can be removed like a stick of ram. I have a V2000 Turion
