    Hi ...

    Recently i have boutgh my new netbook , acer aspire 1410 with pentium celeron 743 processor .. I used to travel a lot and i need cheap , small and good long life battery small computer ..

    I take a look at the back of my new toy , and i was surprise because there is a mini pci express port for the wireless card and there is no conector for the secondary mini pci express .

    I would like to install the new broadcom hd decoder , but it can not be installed , because there is no secondary connector ...

    It is possible to soldering a secondary conector ? There is space in the board for that . And can it work ?
    I have a lot of soldering experience , it is my work ...

    Thanks a lot

    Not necessary since 4500MHD can do H264 hardware acceleration, the broadcom card is mostly for netbooks with GMA950. Give MPC-HC a try
