  1. Congrats again Borealiss looks like you are the only one that got this method to connect the gpu working. Other people have tried your method and have not had any luck. If I had the tools I would been trying it on my MBA also, but atlast $600 to try something that might or might not work is too much money for the uncertainty.
  2. I wonder if it is a too much ram issues. borealiss stated that he only have 4gb of ram in his MBA. Hmm....
  3. Hi Kolper, congratulations on your setup. Recently another forum member has suggested a simpler setup for e-gpu with his MBA. Since the MBPR-13 and MBA have very similar setup and configurations (iGPU only, 8gb ram Max...) I am wondering if the same setup will work for you. http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2731-egpu-2011-macbook-air-13-inch-no-error12-no-scripts-required.html If this works, then it would be amazing gain for the MBPR-13 and MBA's gaming capability.
  4. If this is true, then it is amazing, MBA will finally be the jack of all trades machine that many of us want it to be. If possible, can you give more details about your setup? 1) What is the spec of your MBA? 2GB ram 4GB ram? 2) What version of OSX are you running, what Nvdia driver version are you running, what Intel iGPU driver version are you running? 3) What version of window 7 are you using? 32bit 64bit, bootcamp? Parallels? VMWare. have you tried more then one? 4) when you disable the igpu on device managers, did you still have internal LCD display? After restart, did you notice any minor / major issues with your system. 5) Do you have to re-perform the setup every time you go from OSX to windows and back? Or after you done it once everything just works? 6) have you tried it on any other macbook or MBA, like machine that have 8 or 16gb of ram? Thank you advance for your answers. I think there are many MBP-13 and MBA users on this board, and we are all very anxious to do the same thing to our machines.
  5. But couple thing to remember, the Helio and the Echo Express SE both use a closed slot x8 pcie slot, so you will have to do some "modification" to make them open slot, and doing so will void your warranty. So be sure you know what you doing before preceding. Also both the Helio and Express SE only have single slot opening for the PCIE cards, so your choices are limited to the lower end cards, Nvidia gt640 and below.
