    id like to know if i can use my gtx 550 ti on my thinkpad i got 4 gb x2 ram and
    intel core i7-3520m 2.90ghz (i have express card slot).
    i did lots of research and i heard that on x230 there is a problem with two memory card,
    i saw i would have to power my gtx 550ti which need 400wats .
    now the problem is that i want to try make it as portable as its can be,
    i mean if i can use my internal screen and not other screen ?
    btw sorry for my english.

    660ti Works on mine. 8GB ram. (crashes with 16gb. BIOS issue)

    Internal lcd passback works okay, but you'll want to external monitor anyway, for performance reasons.
