This should give you a starting point in your search: http://www.nvidia.com/object/wtb_notebooks.html

Boot from your Windows install CD and go into the rescue console. Run "fixmbr", that should solve your problem.

I think external PCIe connectors are in the PCIe specs somewhere... http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=30148 http://www.reed-electronics.com/tmwo...tml?ref=nbednn http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.c...id=1087&page=6 I...

I hope this doesn't hurt nVidia's production of chipsets for AMD systems :/

If all it's doing is web browsing and simple tasks, that should work okay. If you're hoping to game like that, not a chance. Check NewEgg, there are many LCD monitors for under $200.

Ubuntu works fine with my Intel 3945 wireless adapter.

Using that kind of setup will get you a pretty poor quality image. You're not going to be able to use your laptop display as a true external monitor.
