sorry if i misled u but i might invest if someone can confirm that my system support PCI-E 2.0 i see form your signature : "Dell XPS 15 L502x: i7-2760QM | 8GB | nVidia GT540M eGPU: Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti OC 2GB, CoolerMaster 625W PSU, Shuttle XPC SN95G5" - are satisfied with the performance u get ? ( bang to buck ratio) - how to compare my system + eGPU kit ( say ASUS GTX650 ) with a GTX660m equipped laptop? is that my system ... does it support PCI-E 2.0? to get thing straight here : i'm looking for the higher performance/bandwidth i can get from the eGPU, and as i read i have two choices : 1- if my system support PCI-E 2.0 i'll shut up and take the PE4L, but i'm not sure yet. ( preferred choice ) 2- if it doesn't, i'll go for x2 PCI-E 1.0 using the PE4H, but i dunno if it's gonna work.

really appreciate your effort helping me, thanks. i don't know if my system support PCI-E 2.0 or just PCI-E 1.0 ? see here : it seems to be PCI-E 2.0, but some say that my processor (i3 330m) does support only PCI-E 1.0. if thats true, i'll go for the PE4H (that support PCI-E 1.0) with two connector going into my laptop (EC adapter + PM3N), like the previous image i posted. again i'm not sure if i can do that too (the x2 PCI-E 1.0)!

- i just opened my back of my laptop and found this : is this mini sata or pci express slot ? - does this supposed to double the eGPU performance/bandwidth (since my laptop doesnt support full speed out of PE4H ): blue lines are hdmi cables of course ... and each of the two ends go into the laptop.

OK ... here's my specs ... about PE4L /PE4H - what do u recommend PE4L or PE4H? why? i would choose PE4L for the price only. - is every/most GPU card compatible with PE4L ? - is there more than one PE4L model? if yes which best? about PSU : so as i can see that its better to go with a psu. if i to choose one, what to consider?

thanks for your answers, thanks for your time and BTW im on Windows 8 enterprise 64

ok guys the only thing that i know is that i have a 34mm expresscard slot (not even sure), and i need a gpu boost:D i want to set it up but i need your help please ... here's my questions : - can i run the eGPU using a charger (like the one with the laptop)? without a PSU ? because i want it to be portable as much as possible. - can i run this setup on the laptop LCD ? ( i have i3 330m with integrated HD400 ). - i have 4GB of ram and im not sure if it's gonna work... can someone read me this : - i can't tell what's best for me PE4L or PE4H? - does the egpu help with cad programs ? ( autocad. sketchup, ... ) - my budget is about 120$, how much do i need ( with cheap gpu )? i could do anything to make it work ( kind of ) but the problem is i don't know how. thank you very much guys.
