em... i bought the diy vidock parts (PE4H+PM3N) around 100US included postage from taiwan . the gtx 550ti i bought it from ebay, second hand item and it costs me 89AU. anyway, it is much more cheaper than the ordinary Vidock : D

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.

First PCI Bus (with 8 digits memory address) is 0xC0000000 which means TOLUD is 3GB. With TOLUD equal or lower than 3.25GB, you will be able to use 4GB+ RAM with DIY eGPU.

*TOLUD is acronym for Top of Low Used DRAM Register. TOLUD defined available PCI space & usable system memory.

so...i can use eGPU or what?

@nick93,

This is common. You just register today, so the account is limited. I don't remember whether my account also limited or not after registering mine (earlier this year) because I didn't buy anything immediately. I only start buying using PayPal after a couple of months later. I don't have credit card too. Please wait, I'm asking my friend. He also got the same issue. Can you see the money in your PayPal account? You topup to USD currency, right?

no..in malaysia currency..how to convert it?i need to buy immedietly coz in middle november..my class will start...so i dont have much time to wait a couple month... sad.gif

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.

alahai....thats mean i need to withdraw and topup it again...so have to wait 2-3 business day.... cry.gif cry.gif
