YOu have a HM77 (Series-7) chipset. It has a pci-e 2.0 mPCIe/expresscard slot. TOLUD=2.5GB is a very good indicator that you won't need other additional work using a DSDT override to host an eGPU. Yes, Setup 1.30 is available: http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2123-diy-egpu-setup-1-30-a.html#post27337 . Thanks a lot for answering me Tech Inferno Fan, you really helped me, Even if my first question was about the fact that: If i have a 1x 2.0, does it mean that i must take a 2nd gen egpu stuff (like the PE4C)? Thanks for answering!

Hi! I wonder: if i have a mPCIe slot 1x 2.0, does it mean that it supports only gen 2.0 and that i must have something like PE4C beceause if not, it won't work beceause of uncompatibility? <img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x500q90/537/cMwDvt.png"> I wanted to know: If i have a TOLUD 2.5GB up to 4GB, can i host an external graphic card? And can i still buy the Setup 1.x? Thanks for the answers!

To answer two of your questions: 1. eGPU is not dead 2. BPlustech has its manufacturing base in Shanghai, China and its online shop still sells the latest model PE4C-EC100C V2.0. But I am not so sure if it ships overseas. Just scroll back a page or so on this thread and you will see there is another user who bought PE4C-EC100C V2.0, but not so sure where he bought it. Thanks for the answers! (My bad, eGPU on Aliexpress was just sold out) But there is one more question left : - Can i still buy the Setup 1.x? Optional question : - It seems that i have a TOLUD of 2.5GB up to 4GB... what does it mean? (I did understand that it was the space for a graphic card) - I have only one mPCIe slot (a wifi slot), can i use Setup 1.x if i have whitelisting problems? (and eventually use Wireless USB adapter?) Thanks for answers!
