I retired my Belkin due to it dropping out all the time but recently
einstated it due to a diferent problem with my NetGear AP (it was getting
absolutely killed by a couple of other AP's locally - apparently a known
problem after a bit of searching) - anyway the Belkin worked fine for about
a day and then started dropping out all the time. I lifted it up off the
surface it was on (in desperation really) as it was a little warm and it
has
been perfectly behaved ever since.

Yup agreed, I read a review of it somewhere that I'm sure said that it had
been supplied for the review with 2Gb RAM though.

Well if you take a look under the keyboard then let me know if there's a
miniPCI wireless card there too. Also - what is under the smaller hatch on
the bottom of the machine? I would take a look but I left my jewellers
screwdrivers at work and never remember to bring them back.
