Advanced Docking Station, T61p, PNY Quadro NVS 290 PCIe 1X

[tegelad]

Has anyone out their gotten this combo to work? I have an ATI X1300 that I used with a T60p that I have; however, I read that that ATI + Nvidia + Dockingstation is a three-way that just won't happen ... Any advice?

I have the Nvidia 570M chipset ...

TIA,

The problem is two-way, not three-way. I've had bad luck with many (but not all) NVidia cards in the dock. I believe it's because of power draw - the dock is limited on the amount of power it can supply to a card in the PCI Express slot.

I've had very good luck with ATI cards in the Advanced Dock.

I don't have any experience with the PNY Quadro NVS 290 PCIe 1X. But I have gotten my T61p to work with both an ATI X1300 PCIe card as well as a Geforce 7600GT PCIe card (which, coincidentally, I'm selling here ). All using Win XP. In Vista all graphic cards need to use the same driver thus you can't mix ATI and NVidia cards.
