Its a Vidock 4 overdrive (one 6-pin/200w/329mm) $239
with a 256MB ATI x1900 graphics card

Problem is my computer does not have the pci express card port. I need help in finding an adapter for one so that I can plug the pci into the adapter and plug it into my laptops usb port.

You would need to have a PCI Express slot for this set up to work. The usb 2.0 ports wouldn't be fast enough to handle it nor be able to recognize it.

Why don't you just buy a desktop all you need is a couple hundred dollars more and you can buy a solid gaming pc instead of wasting your time on this most likely fail product

I like the mobility of a gaming laptop.

You like the lag which comes with it too? But seriously laptops are never good for gaming yes they do make gaming laptops but there is no customization. I don't think this external pci slot will work out to well and you will continue to get the same lag as you currently have.

You don't want to buy an external graphic card.... they are not worth it at all. Especially for gaming.

They are only good for simple presentations and stuff. If you buy one of these you will be wasting your time and your money. Your choice though.

The card you are looking to buy looks pretty bad too for that price.... Honestly i don't know why you are spending all this money on this garbage. You could buy a good laptop with the money you are spending now.
