    Ok dumb question about wireless cards. Are they all located in the same place? Because the Thinkpad Card says its mini PCI express, but the other cards are just called mini PCI. I was curious because one review of the x61 with the thinkpad card said it tended to generate heat under the palm rest, and I was wonder if the other ones would be located somewhere differently.

    Thanks for clearing up my wireless card ignorance.
