Hi Kizwan.
firstly thank you very very much for your explanation. Yours solved all of my questions at once. So much better than all other explanation about PCIe.

but still i have some questions that i can't find out.
I am using dell xps 1645 and have these values for my PCIe.

PCI Express Controller
PCI-E 2.0 x1 port #1 Empty
PCI-E 2.0 x1 port #2 In Use @ x1 (Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 AGN [8086-422C] [NoDB])
PCI-E 2.0 x1 port #4 Empty
PCI-E 2.0 x1 port #5 In Use @ x1 (Ricoh PCI-E Memory Stick Host Controller, Ricoh PCI-E SD Bus Host Adapter)
PCI-E 2.0 x1 port #6 In Use @ x1 (Broadcom NetLink BCM5784M PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller)

You said that we have to use #1 & #2 or #3 & #4 etc.. to use x2 links right?
but according to the values of my computer, 3# does not show up. Is that express card slot? and Why can not i use #1 and #3 (if this is express card slot) to do x2 link?

Oh and
Can I use any graphic cards such as gtx 580, 570 or other good ones better than gtx 560, if i have a good enough PSU?
the reason why i ask you is that most of people left the review with gtx560, and have not seen anyone using better ones than that.. so i doubt that there is limit for the eGPU.

Thank you so much again!

Added on April 26, 2012, 3:39 pmHI. I actually have one more question.
Im buying N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC which requires around 480W. Then, would any PSU over 500W be good enough to run it?
Oh also Which one do you recommend me to use 560, 560ti, or 570?
