i want to make my t61 capable of at least decent gaming capability. when i ran a few tests on the "can u run it" website it would appear as though i only need to upgrade my graphics card to run most newer games. to upgrade the GPU i would need the dock.

i know a bit about the dock like how the GPU needs to be a low profile card and that the LCD screen on my t61 will not turn on when it is plugged in to the dock with a GPU.

my question is that are there any other limitations like does the dock have a psu wattage limit on what card I could chose or does it have to have a certain interface type to work properly.

i plan to use a AMD Radeon HD 6670 low profile GPU in the dock.

if this card wont work then what other card could i use in this dock to play some video games on my t61 at a decent quality

any useful answers are appreciated

thanks for taking the time to read this post

thanks . your post did help quite a bit

can someone answer one more thing for me? can the dock handle a AMD Radeon HD 6670 low profile? does the dock supply enough power to successfully power this card? when i did a search of what the dock can and cant run i came across mixed results so i am still a bit confused. any useful answers are greatly appreciated
