Okay, so i wanted a gaming laptop, but my dad went ahead and got me me a laptop without asking me.Ii now have a integrated intel 4000 HD card. which is really bad.
So i did some digging on the internet, and i liked the idea of an egpu. i know how to set it up and everything. the only problem is i don't have an express card slot or a thunderbolt slot. I was wondering if i could use an express card adapter(CF card reader). would it slow the performance of the external card?

I know that egpus aren't optimum, but i do not have another choice. I can only buy another laptop after a few years. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

PS: My laptop has Bluetooth, and i read somewhere that Bluetooth cards usually attach to pci slots. however i cannot locate my bluetooth card. I have an HP pavillion G7.
