Hey guys, new user to these forums but an advanced user overall Was sent here to ask you experts a more complex question.....Basically, find my setup below.
-2012 13" MBP (Core i5, 8GB DDR3, Crucial M4 128GB SSD)
-triple booted with reFIT (OS X via EFI, Windows 7 x64 via MBR, and linux x64 via MBR)
+will be purchasing a EVGA GTX460 + a dedicated power supply for it soon
Mainly I am here because I was told I could not use an eGPU if I installed Windows via MBR boot mode instead of EFI, is that correct?? That would mean I would have to reinstall both my Windows and linux and I wan't to avoid that if at all possible because of the setup and time involved....At the time, I did not find any reason (pro's vs cons) of installing Windows via MBR or EFI so I just picked MBR because it is what I am familiar with but now I cannot use an eGPU? Secondly, I see most of you guys are running newer cards....Any complaints against me purchasing a GTX460 instead of a GTX560 for example? I'd be doing so mostly for the cost savings and for the fact that I am mainly playing older games (WoW, CoD2/4, etc) so don't see the need for a GTX560, unless it is easier/less problematic to get working with an eGPU setup?
Thanks in advance and let me know guys!

Is there any place that still sells TH05 new or used even? Otherwise, what is the next best solution for someone who wants to play games on an external monitor from their laptop?
