Exactly. Plug that into USB and you might as well be running integrated graphics.

one question


how much?

 

[David Lindon]

If it works I'll buy one

One usb isnt enough... Use 3! Or maybe firewire? All the processing is done outside the laptop, so all it sends back is a video signel. That could be transfered accross firewire or usb, but if it needs to work with the CPU and all, then we have a problem.

is an ethernet port faster than a usb?

 

[_-..zKiLLA..-_]

firewire could do it. or maybe eSATA. if laptops could be made with them soon

USB is 480mbs, Firewire is 400mbs, and I think the new gigabit ethernet ports are 1000mbs. But firewire is the most stable for some reason.
