here you can read about this interesting gadget, which, if will supperted macs will be great addon for mini or mac books !!

wow i was just wondering if something like this exsisted the other day, and now i find this.

cool

sweet, dont your airport cards occupy the express slot?

MacBook's and Mac Mini's definitely can't use these... in fact, only the MacBook Pro's could use this, and that's if it uses ExpressCard 34 instead of 54.

The Mini's and MacBook's do NOT have ExpressCard slots, only the MacBook Pro's do.

It would be good but the final setup doesn't seem to be so portable

It's not about portability, it's about achieving desktop graphics power on any laptop when used at home. XG has many flaws including a pci-e x1 interface which will bottleneck all but a X300SE unfortunately. Also, it can only output to an external display but I don't think of that as a serious shortcoming as I wouldn't enjoy gaming on a 14" LCD anyway. XG2 will have pci-e 16x interface and can output to internal display. (WOOT I hear ?)

edit : I love the idea of such a device, now couple this with a decent Core 2 Duo or Turion X2 notebook so I can put my last gen video cards to good use.

I have one of these - desperate to et it to work with my dell inspiron 1720 hackintosh.

Anyone had success?

BTW i also have a geforce 256mb 8600 GT M card in my laptop, so in theory, the same driver should work ok.

All I get is a black screen with a blue line through it.

It uses the geforce 8600 gt card, which is the same as my dell inspiron (except i have the M version)- both are 256mb, so in theory, it should work.


Any thoughts on this one?

Expresscard is estemated to be PCI 1x speed. So upgrading the card would seem fairly pointless.
