    The x's stands for the transferspeed between the computer and the graphics card. Anyway.
    What you need is a adapter so that you can connect the GPU to your computer, the PE4H (example).
    Then you need, of course, a graphics card.
    Last you need a power supply for the card, just be sure its powerful enough!

    Make sure your computer have a expresscard slot, and check out the DIY eGPU experiences to see if anyone have tried with your computer.

    God luck
