    Hello.

    I've search the forum and I couldn't find an answer.
    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W541 from work (beast machine with a not-very-impressive GPU). I would like to use it at home for gaming using the 34mm ExpressCard for eGPU.
    The laptop is running windows7 OS.
    Has anyone encountered a problem with this specific laptop model?
    Is there anything special I should know before I order parts for a DIY eGPU?

    Thanks.
