    I have a dell studio 1555 (built in intel gma)

    I very much would like to purchase the Vidock (or something simliar) so I can play Starcraft 2 and Star Wars The Old Republic MMO

    Seems like this is my only graphics upgrade option but it appears like this is no longer being sold. I found some on ebay used. Can someone tell me whats going on. Will it work with my laptop?

    Some help would be appreciated.

    Google shows a few online retailers that carry it (Sewell Direct and MacMall, although Sewell just sells the case with no graphics card), and you could probably try contacting XoticPC, which sells it as an optional accessory to many of their notebook systems. I don't know enough about it to tell you whether or not it would work with your system, though.
