EXternal Graphics Card

Hui guys...

I'm very much confused if there is an external Video card available for Notebooks.
Can any one tell if there is any. If so tell me in which slots i can install them..
i have heard of Express Card slots can be used to install additional Video Cards.

I'm wondering if a Notebook Computer can be upgraded with an additional Video card.
Please respond ASAP.......................

awaiting for your replies...........

thanks and regards,
nishanth

Google it. Interesting options are available for external graphics. I doubt they are gaming grade.

Re: EXternal Graphics Card

It is possible. AMD have (or are planning to) released one called the XGP, and ASUS has the XG station. Unfortunately its not as simple as just plugging one in and away you go, you have to have the right type of connectors. The AMD connects to an XGP slot and the ASUS connects to a express card slot. Also they are not likely to be cheap, and i can't seem to find anywhere that sells them. Some sites claim that its been cancelled. Others say that they are scrapping the first edition and bringing out a mkII version that will use XGP slots also (or perhaps USB 3.0 when that arrives).
