Hello everyone.
Yesterday I cam across that it is possible to connect external graphics card to laptop, thrue express card slot. My laptop doesnt have a express card slot, so I found an adaper will it be possible if I use this? Sorry about it being Latvian - http://www.1a.lv/datortehnika/portativiedatori/citi_aks...

And no need to tell that it is expensive ,and I will probably wont make the most of the graphcis card.
If anyone has experience with this kind of stuff, what else do I need to make this possible, I know that I need a power source or something... Im a noob with external graphics cards :D 
Thanks for any responses!

What you linked is an Express Card to Serial. Most likely no, if you purchased and adapter you would be using some other interface to go to Express Card. It is most likely USB to Express Card which is very limited on external GPU power. They make USB graphic cards but they don't really give you much options. I wouldn't count on it working.

Not a problem. Can you provide your laptop model to see if there are any other available options?

Honestly that laptop is one of the better laptops available. Even if you could connect a external graphics card you wouldn't see huge performance gains due to the interface bottlenecks.

Well thanks for helping me out!
I have one question witch is off topic, about my wireless mouse.
My mouse adapter usb 2.0, when I connect it to my pc it sometimes would just randomly turn off even thoe I've bought new batterys 3 times.
Another problem with the moues is that when I use it with a mouse pad, the pointer would just flicker aroun my screen when I drag my mouse. And sometimes I have to use my mousepad so It wont flicker and vice versa.
Is it possible, that the mice is damaged?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand my problem, because i cant explain it properly...

It could be that the mouse is damaged or the receiver for the mouse is damaged. When you plug in another mouse do you receive the same symptoms?

Looks like a good mouse to me! I can't read that language unfortunately but it should be good! Wired mouses are the way to go for gaming!

If you click down below where it says - Preces Apraksts - there should be a paragraph in English. ;)

It should be a good mouse, I would recommend Wired though. To each his own!
