So... bear with me.
I have a 6,1 upgraded to the max - components and RAM are available at great prices on eBay right now - and I am investigating eGPU options, with the best so far looking like Apple TB2->TB3 adapter and a standard eGPU housing with an AMD card in.
But some Google:ing made me want to ask if someone has tried a product like this on the 6,1 - or any Mac really;
That is a mPCIe to standard(?) PCI adapter cable meant for connecting a GPU to an internal mPCIe connector.
The 6,1 has it's AirPort card in the lid;
www.ifixit.com
The connector - as I have read and by the look of it;
is a standard mPCIe connector.
Could this cable be used to replace the AirPort card with a eGPU?
What speeds could one expect?
Anyone tried it or know of anyone who has tried it?
