I wasn't intending to build it into the power supply! As i said, I guess an external
PSU would be needed... but that should be the simple part :-)
Intel's chipset details gives the distinct impression that there is a PCi express socket, so all I really need to do if that is so is get a lead from there out. As i said earlier, other versions of the same lappy have discrete cards, so ireckon surely they just use one mobo fits all approach, in which case the slot should be there :-)
I have some media buttons on one side that I don't really need, maybe i could just pull that bit off once i get it open, it's not like I ever used them anyway. Does anyone?
Maybe the idea is simple in my head and hard in real life. I guess if it was easy, someone would have done it. lol.
Well, if i do give it a go i'll get back t'yall with some photos.
If anyone has opened up an acer lappy with the 945gm before, id appreciate details of the existence and/or location of the PCi express socket! Or indeed any other advice.
