    Good evening!

    I'm wondering if it's possible for me to use a vidock on an NP8662.

    Also if it's possible how much roughly would it cost for a whole setup (everything) with a dedicated gpu that's a lot better then my 260GTXm.

    I'm rarely gaming anymore, so i'm not interested in a very expensive GPU. More in the price range of less than 380$ (vidockdyi+gpu, if its possible).

    And of course would I notice a major upgrade? Will my CPU become a bottleneck?

    CPU: Q9200 3Ghz
    Ram: 4GB


    Layman terms example: Right now I can run 1680x1050 all low on bf3, fps around 30 or lower. How much would I expect to run the game with x GPU and x vidock?

    Thank You :D ;)
