    Hello,

    I have a Dell Studio 1537 & I have 3 mini-PCI slots in it (2 full & 1 half size).

    The half size slot is taken by the wifi, but the other two remain empty...

    So, I had a look in ebay and found several tv-tuners cards by Avermedia that fit in this slot. Does anyone ever used them? Are they compatible? Is there a better alternative?

    Also, I found some WWAN GPS cards and I was wondering whether I can use the GPS feature in a thrid-part map software.Do you think it will work on my laptop?

    Thank you in advance,
