Re: TP: Better Video Solution for 755CE/CX?
The TP's both come with 1meg of video ram. If the TP's didn't have
video ram you w/n get any video. I don't think that the docks support
pass through video, that means that you won't be able to use a video
card in the dock.
Sorry, I don't have any specific suggestions on how to improve video
performance execpt to use TP's that have PCI video, ie 760e's &
365x's.

I'm not paranoid, I know they are following me.
