    I haven't been able to verify if the S6210 uses a mini-PCI slot for its internal WiFi. If it does I think I would be interested in upgrading it to a card with WiFi/Bluetooth. Anyone?

    I'm very sure, but I haven't cracked one open that it does use Mini PCI. That's pretty much standard these days, but I could be wrong. Will one of you 6000 guys please confirm?

    I have a S6210.
    I do not mean to sound like a total Newb, but how would i find out (for you) if my S6210 has a mini pci slot? I would assume it does, however.

    Run1Track,

    Reboot and enter the bios setup (either press Del or F2 at startup - I don't know what Fujitsu uses). Then just tab around the bios and see if you see "Mini-PCI" anywere. That is one way to check if the 6210 has mini-pci. I suspect it does, though.

    Anyways, my s6210 arrives next Wed... I'm so stoked!

    Great forum by the way...

    Did the bios thing and did not see any mention of it.
    I still assume it has one.

    From my research, I'm pretty sure it has one, but I guess I'll wait to see for sure when I get my S6210 in hand. Thanks!
