    Hi Guys

    I have been reading a lot about DIY vidock lately.

    From what I can see people recommend buying PE4L and not PE4H.

    I am the owner of a Thinkpad T500, Intel C2D T9600, Intel GMA 4500, 8gb ram, Intel 330 SSD, in addition to that I have a GTX 460 lying around and my plan is to buy a PE4L.

    My question is would it be better to buy 2 express card ports and the PE4H, and would I by doing that be able to run PCIe x2 ? Or is it so that my two express card ports is one unit and max is x1 ?

    Another thing is, is it worth it to buy this ? I am mainly going to play some shooters and strategy games but the integrated intel is just not strong enough.
