    Anyone else experiencing major memory issues and/or slow downs in their computer when connected to the dock? MS Outlook is completely unusable and I get other stability issues when connected to this dock.

    All my drivers and firmware are completely updated as far as I can tell.

    Any ideas/suggestions?

    One thing you can do is to start eliminating devices plugged into the dock to see if it's one of those that's causing the slowdown. You can also open up a performance monitor to see what's sucking up that RAM/CPU power, the one built-in to Windows should do fine but there are more advanced ones out there.

    Basically eliminate all that you can as the culprit.
