I am new to e-gpus and I have not bought one yet
I have a Sony vaio laptop (pcg-5l2l) This laptop has both mini-PCI-Express and express card. I ran HWinfo and found that both of them have a speed of 2.5Gb/s and I notice that the PE4H has more the 1 mini HDMI slot so will I be able to use both? or should I rater buy the pe4l to save money? I am think of buying one since I am sick on integrated Graphics

The first thing you should do is read this and then re read this and then re read this again: http://forum.notebookreview.com/e-gpu-external-graphics-discussion/418851-diy-egpu-experiences.html
I have not bought one yet ether but to your question at hand it all depends on your ports. Here is a list of ports that can be matched to double the spd. Port 1 and 2 or port 3 and 4 or port 5 and 6. You can use the software AIDA64 Extreme Edition to see what PCI express ports are open. For me I have port 1 and port 2 open. At first port 2 wasn't open for me so I took out my wifi card that I dont use to open the 2nd port.
You still might not understand even what I said but most of all you just have to read that first link I gave you. Because there are a LOT of things you have to make sure that match your computer. Like what chip set your using and if you can open port 1 and 2 on your system depending on what type of processor you have and so on. In short this isn't a plug and play thing people are doing here it takes a bit of research.
PE4H how about 2 connection?
