Ok so your Tolud is good, you are sure of 3.0GB?

Then it seems like you'll need setup 1.x, have you contacted @Tech Inferno Fan now?

Jacobsson,

yeah, i've contacted him. Nando has let me know what i need to do about obtaining a copy of DIY Setup 1.x. Need to borrow a decent graphics card and as soon as i have all the relevant kit, I'll post on the forum and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks again.

More than a mix than a song. But if you like your summer chill out hot creations has it down. Boom!

Regarding the 2GB of ram: I think you refer to the 4GB+ issue that now can be solved by extending your PCI-space with a DSDT-Override.

In your case I'm no sure, how much memory do you use and size of Tolud?

Can organize Setup 1.20 by PMing me (once you have 5 posts or more) or emailing me on Tech Inferno [email protected] . REF: Setup 1.x page.

I can't comment specifically on a 2540P. However, I found that a 2560P/2570P all needed PCI compaction or a DSDT override to run an AMD card. Now using a 9800GT would see it using the same 256MB pci-e required for those AMD cards and (likely) it too would need Setup 1.x's PCI compaction OR a DSDT override to work with 2540P using 4GB+.

Newer Keplar (GTX660+) or Fermi cards (GTX460+) require 128MB+32MB+16MB which can be accomodated without such workarounds. Odd one to avoid is the GTX650 series.They require 256MB+32MB so will present issues.

FYI: Latest DIY eGPU Setup 1.20 having the ability to hard allocate the eGPU within the 36/64-bit PCI space create using a DSDT override.

I must advice to test with a newer Kepler/Fermi card (GT430 or newer) since these cards have different allocation requirements.

Can you borrow from a friend? Else I'm pretty sure you'll need Setup 1.x to allocate it.

Thanks Jacobsson. I think i could borrow a gfx card this weekend. I'll look into the Tolud size and respond over the weekend. The idea of getting my head around DSDT again is not ideal, but if it has to be done, then I'll give it another try.

Just watched The World's End. Jokes film! If you don't want to think too much and want a laugh I'd definitely recommend.

Just a quick question. Its my first post so stay with me...

Is it worth getting Setup 1.x given that I have 8gb of RAM in my Elitebook 2540p (i5 | Win 7). Does Setup 1.x have a work around for higher than 2gb RAM? From what I've understood (or misunderstood!) its not possible with more than 2gb RAM. At this stage I'm using an old 9800GT Palit gfx card - I'll get a better one if i can manage to get the eGPU up and running - I have a PE4H v2.4a and a suitable power supply. In the past I've tried DSDT 36 bit compaction but tbh I have no idea what I'm doing. I've read numerous forums over the past few months and i know that other HP 2540p owners have made the magic happen, but its not happening for me. I guess i jumped in a bit too far at the deep end.

Any advice or direction to advice welcome!
