I’ve just downloaded free PC Wizard 2010 (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/pc-wizard.html).
Looking at the Mainboard monitor, it tells me this:

Is anyone else smart enough..?
March 6, 2011 at 3:27 am #202775Hmmm….MemberPCI-Express Information :
Number of connectors : 11 connector which means… oh, you don’t have 2. :/
March 6, 2011 at 12:52 pm #202555jeepers01Participant__spc__ – That output is a little confusing but you have 2 x pci-e slots – 1 x wireless and 1 x unpopulated.
The unpopulated slot will not have the pci-e connector soldered in place but the cpuid software is not smart enough to determine that 🙂Hope this helps
June 12, 2011 at 5:04 pm #202778InsertNameHereMemberThese PCI adapters look very interesting, considering that they give the opportunity to add on lots of things to a netbook. I was wondering if there are any small/compact storage cases which just store these Pci cards… Ultimately I was hoping to insert a stack of around 4 of these in a small “cube” and connect them to a usb hub and then to my sammy. Sound feasible?

News!
It seems there is a Mini PCI- Express to PCI-Express and USB adapter:

I couldn’t find any places that sell these yet… only direct from Alibaba. This opens up the possibility to lots of expansion!
Also came across potential news from XMBC… I think one of their developers is working on Broadcom Crystal HD support!
