    Acer 8951g egpu
    Hi new to this site and eGPU. Read for three days strait. my learning curve seems to be still quite high. I have a Acer 8951g with a i7-2630qm sandy bridge with 16GB. there is a spare mPCIE slot free (for gps module). Can i use this port. also confused about tolus values and using setup program.

    Will this work on acer 8951g spare mPCIE port.
    Will i need setup program. i have nvidia optimo.
    Can the setup go from internal gpu on the road and external at home with min setup each time.
    What is the best system and card i can use. (internal gt555m)
    Is it worth it. Will the external card have alot more gain running with restiction compared to my gt555m

    Thanks
