[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1533171, member: 97843"] There's a few threads on Apple's site, with one being 10+ pages. Looks like the distance people notice problems with is after 3 feet. I have a bunch of things that I believe are interfering with it as well, especially after installing the new triple-monitor stand. All is good now though. I have yet to find something that shows what causes this issue, but my guess is that there is a problem with the chip at the end of the original bluetooth's antenna(hidden next to the PCI slot covers), and the antenna is left to pick up data from the short wire leading to that chip. Having this issue seems to be a hit or miss though, and does not show true span of the problem since not everyone uses bluetooth. [/QUOTE]
