Can this work?

Post by nexus_7 »

I have a laptop and its docking station....can I put a PCI videocard in the docking station and have that be used as the primary videocard when in my docking station and the onboard video when I carry it around?

anyone know?

Ill probably try it but if anyone has experience with this might help.
