Trying to figure out if this is going to be worth my time/effort, and the $88 adapter. I have an old pc with a Pentium 4 processor and 2GB of RAM, that I upgraded with a Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS GPU a long time ago. It did fairly well for the games I played (MS Flight Sim 2004 and X, Armed Assault, BF2, etc...). I haven't done much gaming at all since then. I now have an ASUS Q500a notebook with an i7-3632QM processor, 8GB RAM, but integrated HD 4000 iGPU. I could use the GPU and power supply from that old PC (which now only has 512 MB of RAM), so I think I would just need to buy the adapter. I would be using this with a single mPCIe from my WiFI card, as I don't think my notebook has a second mPCIe slot. It also looks like the GeForce 7600 is too old to benefit from Optimus. Do you think this upgrade would be worth it, or should I just hold out for a while until I can save up enough to build a gaming PC? I mostly want to play Flight Sim (2004 and X) with lots of addons, but if I could I would love to play some newer games, like Battlefront, ArmA III, or even something like Skyrim that would be awesome. Thanks for the help!
