So I've been reading up on this card and people seem impressed by it. But it seems to have heat issues. Anyone got experience of the heat issues? Will it end up being a hassle rather than a dream. I have less trust with ATI and don't want to end up melting my laptop (I know it won't actually melt it). Am I going to need one of those under the laptop cooling fan decks - not ideal for using it on your knee.

I've had a Prescott CPU in my PC for the past 6 years or so and know all about how heat issues can be more than a pain. I don't want to go through that again.
