    Hi all,

    I struggke gaming on my laptop and I want to set up an eGPU system for my Sony Vaio VGN Z51-XTG/B but I don't have much information about compatibility or bottleneck issues. Which graphics card and PCI adapter do you recommend me to buy and also, is there any place in Europe or Middle East that I can order the adapter from? Because it seems not any technician in Turkey ever dealt with these systems. Some of them even told me it is impossible :D

    Laptop specs:

    Intel Centrino 2 Duo P9700 2.8 GHz
    6 GB DDR3 RAM
    NVidia GeForce 9300M GS
    34mm Express Card Slot (edit: Its bandwith is 2.5 Gb/s, v1.1 I guess) (?)
    No mini PCI slot reachable at the bottom, so I can only go for x1 (?)

    Full specs are here, couldn't find in English but you can still figure it out.

    Thanks.
