    Hi, I'm obviously new here if anyone can tell, but that's beside the point. I just got my laptop backup and running after a Hard Drive failure last week; Dell was able to send out a tech and get it replaced at my house. Since I have my computer back and running now, I was just curious as to what exactly I should shove into my empty Express card slot on my Dell Studio XPS 1647; does anyone have any suggestions?

    Chances are it will only work with a WWAN and/or TV tuner card. Possibly even only those specifically offered as options when you bought the laptop.
