    I absolutely love my vaio TZ but it has one downfall. I miss performance for 720p and 1080p movies.

    Fortunately Broadcom developed the Crystal HD mini-PCIe card. My TZ currently only holds 1 mini-pcie slot which is in use by the wireless card.

    Some models come with wwan or a tvtuner and have an extra mini-pcie card like in the picture below.

    Does anybody know what the partnumber is for that extra mini-pcie slot including the cable or even a link where to buy it. I also would like to know if it is limited to only wwan/tvtuner or if i could also use the broadcom card.
