    Hi,

    I've been researching a lot about egpus for the past 3 months and somehow I got little information about its compatibility with my laptop:

    Compaq Presario CQ43-206TU
    Sandy Bridge HM65 Chipset (2011 laptop model)
    Intel Pentium B940 CPU (I've been planning to upgrade it to an i5 2540m)
    Intel HD graphics
    4GB 1333 RAM (max supported is 8GB)
    Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (upgrading to 8.1 Pro 64-bit)

    As far as TOLUD is concerned, I'm still feeling stupid whether or not mine is a 2.5GB with these:

    I'm planning a mini-ITX desktop after Christmas when I have the money, for now all I could afford is the MSI Twin Frozr V GTX 970 that I will be using later; I know it may be a bottleneck but since I'm gonna get it anyway why not use it in my laptop?

    So, does anyone have any insight on this?

    Someone, anyone, no one?

    Could anyone at least confirm what my TOLUD capacity is?
