Mini PCI

-----------------------------------

I just found out my laptop has a Mini PCI slot. I was looking around in the BIOS (trying to adjust the shared video memory) and seen a Mini PCI menu. :) Idea! Is there Mini PCI video cards?

Are you sure that the slot is not used?  Notebooks have internal mini-PCI slots, internal PCMCIA slots, and internal everything-that-you-could-think-of.  It is just that they are all used or hard-wired.

Perhaps...could be. But damnit I want a video card. Perhaps I'll call Dell. Some day.

I have never heard of a mini-pci video card; and if you actually look at how most mini-pci slots work there isn't really a way of fitting in anything that requires IO ports; at least not without a lot of work.
