    I have an HP Pavilion dv7, And my hard drive crashed. When I opened it up, I noticed two extra empty slots to the right of the HD bays. Does anybody know what they're for? The one on the left has a marking above it that looks like a monitor, so I assume it has something to do with graphics. the one on the right, however, has no markings at all.

    One could fit in TV tuner, second one that Intel Turbomemory thingy. I actually have one dv7 currently at work that has TV Tuner inside.

    There's one HDX9400 also with TV Tuner but neither of those computers work... :p DV5's also have TV option but I haven't seen one installed.
