    I have a HP nx6325. I would like a proper docking station for this, i.e. not just a port replicator. I've looked at both the EN489AA & EN488AA, but these don't seem to do much more than a port replicator. My motive is to drive two desktop DVI monitors so I'm after a docking station that I can fit a PCI card into. The Advanced Dock for the Thinkpad has a PCI slot but I can find no similar for HP notebooks. Or perhaps there is another approach to my goal?

    Thanks for your reply. I've seen the expresscard slot on the 489 but according to the Expresscard manufacturers organisation there are no Expresscard graphics cards. There is also an Expresscard on the nx6325.

    I view the EN489AA as a port replicator.
