Taipei (Taiwan) - The vision of upgradeable graphic cards goes back to the late 1990s, when Micron Technology was experimenting with removable sockets. In 2006, both MSI and Gigabyte showcased upgradeable graphic cards, but their concepts, which were based on GeForce Go MXM boards, never took off. Earlier this year, Asus introduced a single board with three MXM slots for ATI Mobility Radeon 3850 or 3870 cards (upgradeable with future parts), and has now unveiled its single-MXM product.

    Where I'm now
    But it will have major drawbacks.After all what is there to upgrade after 3870?Its the best chip.:D The good thing is now they've have the initial route,so now only have to develop into upcoming generations.But those generations too change so quick.
