Has there been anything new in the PCIe market lately? Or are we all completely satisfied just having video acceleration with Broadcom Crystal BCM70015? Any other good uses for PCIe on netbooks?

pointless you say not at all, it may be pointless when looking at it from the perspective of some dumbazz trying to supe up some old shyt pile but when you look at it from the IT perspective it would be quite helpful as when the onboard gpu fails the easiest least expensive thing to do is disable it in the bios and install a pcie card as apposed to replacing the entire motherboard in which case you may as well just get a new computer. so a 2 second fix or a new computer? having a mini pcie nvida ion 2 would be quite helpful

Nvidia, get on it. The demand is there. What are you waiting for? This writer is nuts.

mini pci-e videocard is a wonderful idea, why neither nvidia or ati haven't released something like that already! I don't understand authors line of thought on that subject at all, really think he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Dismantling? Please: I can simply unscrew a panel and swap out the wifi card the moment I want to. You must have one of those old Acers or something that required the whole thing to be taken apart just to add some RAM. Newer ones hopefully aren't like that. Mine isn't.

nvidia ion2 uses 6 watt power which can be compromised with switching off your Wifi, then you won't be able to enjoy youtube with wifi ,but we still can enjoy most of the graphics applications working on ethernet as well,so i think Nvidia ion2 must to be on mini-PCIe like broadcom HD accelarators.

I think it's an excellent idea, but not for what you may think. Laptops and netbooks are prone to heat which in turn can destroy your gpu. In most cases, this also renders your laptop or netbook useless and you either need to replace the motherboard or the computer itself. This would come in handy and save a lot of headaches. I really wihs this was implemented in gaming consoles because 9/10 its a gpu overheating issue and being able to swap them out would save consumers a lot of money.

The short answer is the HP 2133. This beautiful machine (aluminum, not cheap plastic) is underpowered and screams out for a video co-processor. It has a 4 hour battery and 2 gb of ram a bright 1280 x 768 8.9″ screen and fast 120 gb drive.
