Uninstalled Setup 1.1x and booted with the eGPU fine. However, the same problem remains. I don't get an Error 12, the wifi just doesn't work/will come back but will drop/come back every 5 seconds.

Also, I am getting some "Vector Probe Error" right after startup.bat runs. The computer still boots with the eGPU but with the aforementioned wifi problems. The "Vector Probe Error" screen blinks so quickly that I cannot read what it says, hope this helps in any way possible.

Hey all, I've been running my PE4L 2.1B+GTX680 on my HP 2560P for about 2 weeks and for the most part, the experience was nothing but pleasant. However, out of the blue, I've been getting problems in regards to my wifi. It started about 2 days ago when I ran the automated startup.bat like usual in Setup 1.1x, which is only set to run a 32-bit PCI Compaction to get me 128MB (it's 64MB without it). At first, my wifi was just TERRIBLY slow and unuseable as it would disconnect and re-connect every 5 seconds. I have an Intel 6205 with the latest drivers installed. I booted up the 2560P without the eGPU and to my surprise, I was getting perfect wifi speeds/reliability! I was getting 14-20MBPS consistently and stayed connected the whole day. To confirm my suspicions, I rebooted with/without the eGPU 5 more times and the result was all the same, without the eGPU, wifi is perfect, with it...it's horrible. Suspecting that maybe something in 1.1x was messed up, I uninstalled and re-installed, which made the problem even worse. Now when the 2560P boots with an eGPU, the wireless card is detected but will show as an X in Windows! However, boot without the eGPU and it's perfect. Any ideas guys?

Nando, what is the highest CPU in the Sandy Bridge series we can upgrade to? 2860QM? 2960XM? I am not sure how to determine what s compatible and what isn't outside of the series (Sandy Bridge).

Just wanted to write that my eGPU setup was a success! It was so easy to setup, basically plug and play. My setup: HP 2560P (i7-2620M, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD) Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP 2560x1600 30" Monitor EVGA GTX680 SC Corsair CX500 PE4L 2.1B Results: A quick 3DMark11 benchmark test with stock drivers, stock clocks, and Nvidia sliders to Maximum QUALITY (not Performance) yieled a very nice score that, according to 3DMark's Results search, is just as strong as SLI 580M's, wow! The performance has exceeded my expectations! Here are some pictures: Thank you so much to Nando and Unreal for answering all of my questions, you guys rock! Will update with gaming or other benchmarks if requested, just let me know!
