Asus will have to share its profits with others. XG-Station still isn’t launched (in Q2 2007), but other companies decided to unify external video card. They’ll do it with the help of PCI-Express bus. They have just approved PCI-E 2.0 specifications and soon PCI-E will become external technology. PCI SIG has specifications, but don’t want to share with anyone. This standard will be popular between graphics companies, such as ATI or Nvidia. External technology will be used to create a cable connecting computer with some device. Imagine external graphics card. No limits for developers. Size, thermal care, power source don’t matter. Now you have one box and soon there will be 2: computer and graphics card . Thanks to Molex and the Inquirer we have some pics of cables. I share one with you. [...] […] Do you remember XG-Station?

Integrated graphics card has only the basic functions. Old models even don’t have 3d accelerator. But we consider only new models up to $1000. Basically all models are equipped with Intel chipset, 915 or 945. These chipsets have integrated graphics card. But don’t expect to play modern 3d shooters. The best you’ll get from them is strategies or 3 years old shooters. If you want to watch HDTV forget about laptop. Or find another $1000 to buy laptop, which supports high-def video. Also you can wait till external PCI-E or XG-Station will be available. But, again, it’s more than $1000, so we don’t consider these. [...] […] If you still reading this then you have to choose video.
