Hello! So, I've done a bit of research... (oh noes!!) basically, my original plan was that I was gonna tear my system apart, and see if it would be possible to somehow physically attach a desktop GPU board to the motherboard of the laptop.
It seem's silly, but, then again, its not silly if it works. This is around the time I came around the idea of a DIY eGPU
Now, I've seen a person put this kind of setup into a Dell Latitude e4300 But, I'm wondering if its possible to do with a Dell e4310.
Now, Based on how this DOES have an express card slot, and I do have a PSU laying around here somewhere, I could try it out. It does require a PE4H Adaptor, Which, to be quite honest, is alot cheaper then buying a $1000 system.
So, Now here is the question *DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
Is this even worth it? Would the performance be similar to how the GPU would perform in an actual Desktop situation? (Based on how the bandwidth is alot smaller and other factors)
I am wanting to do this because, if its possible to have my laptop turned into a gaming PC, then carry my laptop around with me.
Also, I am planning on getting a Toshiba Portege z830-s830, Which, Again, hopefully it would be compatible with this kind of setup.
Specs of systems:
DELL LATITUDE E4310
(currently Running Ubuntu 14.04)
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz × 4
4gb DDr2
Intel IRONLAKE mobile Graphics.
Toshiba Portege z830-s830
6 GB DDR3-1333/PC3-10600
Core i7-2677M 1.80ghz
Would like your INPUT on this idea (Sorry for the DARN long post)
