Thinkpad T500 + Advanced dock 2503 - what to add to Pci-e?
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2013 12:30 am
I guess the capabilities for fitting a graphic card in a 2503 advanced dock has been well debated here. After a lot of research am coming to a conclusion, that if I really want a graphic card upgrade for my T500, I should go a different route. The DIY ViDock makes sense, as I have two express card slots (one on my laptop and another on my dock) sitting empty. I am not in the biggest need though, I hardly play games and the current setup supports dual monitors.
I, however, still want to utilize the pci-e x1 half size slot on the dock and I was thinking of what to put in there. Have you guys tried an audio card or a TV tuner card? Maybe even a USB 3.0 card?
I already have used up the 5 available USBs on the dock. Any thoughts, suggestions or examples will be much appreciated.
