Upgradeable gfx cards (as in keep the card, upg the GPU, RAM)

For years adorers of powerful graphics boards wished that they could only replace graphics chip and memory on their adapters without dumping the whole product. MicroStar International (MSI), a leading maker of computer components, showcased at Consumer Electronics Show a graphics card that may make dreams of some enthusiasts come true.

all you need to know is how to bullshit with a Dell customer service rep

DO NOTE!!
that is NOT and upgradeable graphics card. That is an extension, an adapter. The MXM is a special nvidia connection for laptops, and that card just adapts it for pci-e. It would be interesting as far as saving money on power or making quiet systems.
