I have the GB-XM12-3227 Gigabyte Brix system, which has a 3rd generation i3 cpu running at 1.9Ghz, i struggling with it only having 2 USB ports and though i could use a Bluetooth device but have noticed it doesnt even support Bluetooth so i was looking at getting the newer version the GB-BXi3-4010 which has a 4th generation cpu but running slower at 1.7GHZ and the memory being DDR3L and not standard DDR3 so couldn't use my existing memory (or though am i right in thinking all DDR3L ram is just 1.35v based ram, which i already have in my brix) which put me off slightly but it does have a better GPU (4400 vs 4000).

I have opened the Brix up and the wireless card is a removable mini pci type card, is it possible just to swap this wireless card out for a cheap wireless & Bluetooth card something like this.....

or do 3rd gen Intel i3 chips not support these dual type wireless cards??
