Ok.. well first of all i'm mad that all laptop parts are integrated...
but heres what I need to ask
Is it possible to hook up a video card to my laptop externally since I can't change it internally?
I overheard someone talking about it once but i never quite got the idea of how it worked..
something about buying a PCI-E Adapter, and connecting the Video Card to the PCI-E Adapter, which is then connected to my computer.
Anyone have any idea how in the god's name that works or any other way possible that I can hook up a video card to my laptop?
