Welcome to the forum!

In my opinion, you'd be better off saving that money and investing in a newer ThinkPad...

If you shop around, you can find a dock fairly cheap. Just about any video card that will fit the dock, should in theory be better than the on board video. The card will also be pretty inexpensive. I'm thinking $50 to $100 for the pair.

The question is why do you need / want an external video card?

Indeed, but I can easily find answers for 'why not'. :D
