Check if your netbook has a free mini PCIe slot
Jan 4th
What does it mean if your netbook has a free mini PCIe slot? Well, it’s an easy way to add an internal device like an SSD, 3G module or Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator. The last one is something you might want to try if you do have a free slot as it will give your Atom netbook a much needed boost in the HD video department. The list is below:

Asus 9″ series: 1 available (occupied by SSD)
Asus 1000HE: 1 available (3G available in Europe; cannot import; 2 slots)

Netbooknews.de is running some great high-res photos of the new Acer Aspire One 532H. And boy the netbook looks really nice.
