Wow.  Nice find.  This is a really cool idea.

Don't know if the graphics chip makers themselves will agree on the 'less money being spent to upgrade' part. :lol:

I am almost inclined to side with Capt here. I would guess that it's easier to do it with ATI as they have a very modular design, whereas Nvidia has proven to need special parts coupling GPUs takes more work than Xfire does...

hey nvidia is owned by the MAN (chek de all seeing eye, and the Crysis conspiracy) they would rather not go ahead with this unless the y have an opportunity to make more money, but at the end of the day they make damn good cardss, Ati will have to still come reall good to beat that fact.

 They depend on MXM module technology like those used in laptop graphics...

 Theoretically it is upgradable , but MXM modules are horribly overpriced compared to their desktop counterparts , and very hard to find .

You could pop in Nvidia graphics if you wanted.
