Howdy Folks,Just joined the forum while searching online for DIY E-gpu setups. Started reading the thread but at times it is a little confusing. I am not that tech savy but I can learn and am open to experiments (especially when i cannot afford a brand new laptop). Please bear with me when i ask noob / stupid questions. Looking for advice and guidance on how to do this setup. Lets start with what i have. Dell Studio 14 Specifications Processor Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6GHZ Clarksfield Chipset Intel HM55 Memory 6GB DDR3-1333 (Max 8GB) Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series 512MB Display 14" LED Glossy 16:9 720p (1366x768) Hard Drive(s) Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB 7200RPM Optical Drive Slot-loading DVD+/-RW Combo Drive Networking Gigabit Ethernet Dell 1501 Wireless (b/g/n) Audio HD Audio 2 stereo speakers with 2 headphone jacks and a mic jack Battery 6-Cell, 11.1V, 56Wh battery Front Side N/A Left Side Kensington Ethernet Exhaust vents 1x USB 2.0 1x Combo USB 2.0/eSATA VGA HDMI ExpressCard/34 Slot SD/MMC Reader Right Side 2x Headphones, Mic 1x USB 2.0 Slot-loading Optical Drive Power button Back Side N/A Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Dimensions 13.25" x 9.48" x 0.98"-1.52” (WxDxH) Weight 5.25 lbs (with 6-cell battery) Extras Webcam Flash reader (MMC/MS/MS Pro/SD) My question is which version of PE4H can i use (hoping the latest version works for future upgrading). And since i have an internal ATI card, do i have to use an external ATI card or can i use Nvidia. Also whats the max card i can use. Where do you guys recommend i buy all these components from. I will mostly definitely have more questions but would appreciate all the help i can get. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.
