Not a whole lot of info, but Tom's spotted it at CES. Figured it was worthwhile to post it here:

Quote :

Announced around a year ago, Asus' external graphics enclosure is nearly production ready, according to company sources.

The XG Station houses a single or double-slot PCI-Express x16 graphics card, using a notebook's Express Card interface to provide x1 bandwidth. This allows an included (unspecified model) mainstream graphics card to exceed Intel's 965GM performance by over 6.7 times, according to Asus.



Still sounds like a viable option for those who are stuck with laptops with integrated graphics.
