Vostro 3400 external videocard

Hi there! I want to use external graphics card with my Vostro 3400 laptop. Will the graphics card work if I put with razer instead of a WI-FI module? Some guys did it and it really works, but im worry about it. Will Nvidia's graphics card work?

Not in a practical sense, no -- and not with any level of performance.  That slot has nowhere near the bandwidth needed for a GPU, so it'll be very slow -- and there's nowhere to route the cables inside the system, so you'll end up with an immobile pile of disassembled parts -- and need an external monitor, since they won't display internally.

If you need better video performance, you'll end up with a desktop system afterward (if it even works), so if that's  the plan, simply buy a desktop computer.
