The battery works really well so far. The control strip tells me 4 hours from a full charge, sometimes 5. Probably won't last the full 4 hours but it still gives me that kind of figure after an hour's use. Hopefully the battery lasts and doesn't blow up after a year's use or whatever.

I wish I'd known all those other cards were 16-bit as well - then I would have looked for one with an antenna. Don't know what sort of reception I'll get out of the Dell. Anyway it's supposed to be arriving tonight so I'll find out.
