Alright, I had an old laptop that died. I have this habit of dismantling every single chip inside before throwing it away. I've got a trove of chips lying around now including RAMS, DVDROMS, Wireless and Bluetooth chips and more. More importantly, I took off a dedicated GeForce GPU. I forgot it's model but I believe it's a 7600m or something. I completely forgot about the chips and everything until recently.
So now my friend gave me a Samsung 305e4a with an AMD-3305\ Radeon 6480g. I know, pretty basic stuff, but I've got it overclocked from 1900mhz to 2800. Yep.
But here is the thing with APU's, the built in GPU cannot be played with. So now I remembered that I have a spare 7600M laying around and wanted to see what are my possibilities.
I know that my laptop has a 16xPCIe outlet but I couldn't Identify it. Also, the connectors on the back of the card look weird to me. I can take care of the cooling and everything, but can I get some help understanding the connections here?
