PCIe port on T510 or T520

#1 Post by MikalE » Tue Nov 01, 2016 4:21 pm

Do either of these systems have a spare PCIe port to connect an external video card?

I would rather not remove the Wi-Fi card to use that port.

I have been kicking around the idea of getting back into flight simulation (on a much smaller scale than my full size 727 was) and want to run a high end card on one of my i7 machines. It will likely be the T520 because of the ram capacity.

Is there another way to hook up a high end video card that I'm not aware of besides the PCIe port?
