Hi i have HP 2570p, first of all my question is can i do it..?
i saw theres this thing
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=pe4l+adapter&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XEXP+GDC+V7.0.TRS0&_nkw=EXP+GDC+V7.0&_sacat=0

that i plug to my laptop.. so my first question is will it even work..?
my seconds question is whats the diffrence between pluging this adapter to a power charger like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/19V-4-74A-Power-Charger-Adapter-for-Toshiba-Satellite-A300-A500-L500-L350-L550-/291272969553?hash=item43d138cd51:g:7ScAAOSw5VFWMHEQ

or to a Power supply? im trying to buy it as cheap as i can. and if the Power supply is not needed then ill just buy this power charger, im about to plug the AMD 6950 2GB card..

can someone please help me..?

Thanks

The Dell's used have more power output which will come in handy with using beefy GPU's. Which GPU are you trying to use? You may also want to keep in mind, the mPCI-e add-on will need to go in and out if you're going to move around with your laptop. On another note the wireless adapter will also be rendered useless unless you have two mPCI-E slots.

thanks for answer!
my english isnt the best so its hard for me to 100% understnad what u said.. but if i got it right then:
i will use the GPU: AMD 6950 2GB, i said it already in the post..
i dont understand which "Dell" u talk about, for some reason i belive u r talking about the power charger and u said something like, if u use a strong card then u will have to buy some power supply like 450W or something,but if its not so the power charger should do the work. i got it right..? and if i do then what do u say about my 6950 AMD..? i will need some power supply or a normal power charger will be fine?
and yes i know, the laptop is stand as a desktop computer and not moving at all, it also comes with Dock station which transfer all to a 24 "" LCD, a mouse and a key board..
and what is wireless adapter..?

Please try writing ur next answer with basic english its hard for me to understand hardware english speaking...

thank u very much!

There are:
High Power 19V Output Laptop Adapters by
Dell(FlexTronics) 240W PA-9E, PA9E, 330-4128, ADP-240AB B, GA240PE1-00, J938H, J211H, Y044M.
^ All outputting a maximum of 240W's which is considerably short of the 300W target.

You already own a GPU(and am assuming you already have a monitor as well. Add a motherboard, CPU, ram, SSD/HDD, powersupply and case and you have a new build.
