Because you topup to RM first then convert to USD. That is why it is advisable to topup straight to USD. You need to topup again until enough. smile.gif Also make sure you put correct home address in your PayPal account.

No need to withdraw the money from your PayPal account. Only need to add more money until the total is at least USD 93.

Please explain how you use mol point to topup PayPal.

@nick93,

I don't know what is wrong with your account. I think you'll need to call PayPal & explain the problem. Just say you want to buy product using PayPal balance, not credit card.

The mini-HDMI cable is included in the PE4L-PM3N package.

Your notebook doesn't have ExpressCard slot & most probably only have one mPCIe slot. So, you won't get good performance from eGPU since you can only do x1 link setup. Only with x2 or x1.Opt (Opt = with Optimus) will deliver good performance. x2 link required two mPCIe ports or [ExpressCard + mPCIe] with either these combination [PCIe port#1 & port#2] OR [PCIe port#3 & port#4] OR [PCIe port#5 & port#6]. x1.Opt (with Nvidia Fermi desktop graphic card) required either only one mPCIe port or ExpressCard slot with the notebook must have either Intel GMA 4500MHD or Intel HD Graphics or Intel HD 3000. Opt=Optimus provide PCIe data compression which will boost performance over PCIe x1 link. In term of performance; x1.Opt > x2.

CPU = Intel Core i5 M 520 Processor
GPU = Nvidia GT 330m
RAM = 4gb ddr3
I have ExpressCard Slot i think


Added on November 14, 2011, 4:02 amowh.. im wondering if it can be in my laptop screen instead of getting a monitor

PE4H kit = USD91 + USD22 (postage) = RM360
ATiAMD Radeon HD 6570 = RM230
Total = RM590 (excluding power supply)

Radeon HD 6570 power requirement 60W (GDDR5) or 44W (DDR3). So, you can use 12V/75W or 12V/80W AC adpater.

External monitor requirement is depend on your notebook specification. Please post your notebook model/brand & specification.

What is the full specification? Does it have switchable graphics? I can only see both notebook have discrete graphic card but they are not useful for eGPU.

The reason why I asked for switchable graphics because if your notebook have it, then your notebook have either active Intel GMA 4500MHD or Intel HD Graphics. If your notebook have any of the Intel GPU then you will be able to utilized ~80% of Nvidia Fermi graphic card performance on your notebook & you will be able to get acceleration on internal LCD. Of course, you will have much better performance if you use external monitor.

If your notebook have 34mm/54mm ExpressCard slot, that will be good too because you can connect eGPU via ExpressCard slot.

If your notebook don't have the Intel GPU I mentioned earlier, then you can't utilized eGPU unless if your notebook can do x2 link setup. x2 link setup will require connecting eGPU to two PCIe ports, either two mPCIe ports or ExpressCard+mPCIe. x2 only possible with either of these PCIe ports arrangement:-
- PCIe port#1 & #2
OR
- PCIe port#3 & #4
OR
- PCIe port#5 & #6

You can use eGPU using mPCIe port. I'm sure at least one mPCIe port available on your notebook.

Now, since your notebook doesn't have active Intel HD Graphics, to get best performance from eGPU, you need to do x2 link setup. Your next task is to find out how many mPCIe port(s) available.

mPCIe port is the express card port right, the one tht normally laptops tht have it got some plastic card-like thingy which is inserted into it. If thts the case, I only have one..

Please take a picture & post it here.

If only one mPCIe port available, then definitely you can't optimized eGPU due to limited bandwidth. Graphic card will perform better with x2 link.

FYI, instead graphic card, you also can connect sound card using this method. You know, if you want to connect desktop sound card to your notebook, like this.

Here are all the ports I have, on the other side I have a USB, charger and LAN port. Not ports at the front, back and bottom.
