    T9900 processor
    256GB SSD
    4GB Half mini PCI-e Intel Turbo Memory or Hybrid mini PCI-e TV Tuner?
    Replace current Intel :) 5100 wi-fi to 5150 wi-fi + WiMAX?
    MXM-II slot 9650M GT, 9700M GT or GT 130M GPU?

    I can't find the secondary HDD bay on my 6935G, since I heard reports about its existence.

    Any more thoughts? Any ideas where to source all these items cheap (or at least reasonable) besides EBay? I am residing in Malaysia by the way.

    My understanding is that the 6935 does not have a space for a second physical hard drive. Unlike the 6930 which can accomodate a second drive.
    http://www.mk-electronic.com provide a parts list (with diagrams) where you can find details about memory, TV tuner cards and wifi modules. The 6935 is MXM-II but the problem with upgrading this part is getting an appropriate video bios.
    Not sure about CPU without more research. A T9600 is supported so in theory a T9900 might be but it is really down to the BIOS recognising it (coping with it) plus the cooling system.
    I see no problems with an SSD upgrade other than the fact that the machine will only support a single HDD.
