I'd imagine bandwidth bottlenecks are an issue.

Fujitsu did one last year, the AMILO Graphics Booster. I would have loved to have got my hands on one to test it as it seems to have gone down reasonably well with reviews, I can't seem to find it being sold in the UK or USA marketplace. A couple of reviews do mention however, that by default it didn't power the LCD screen of your laptop, you apparently need a newer set of ATI drivers to do that (no idea how that worked mind you - feeding signal back into the machine via USB or Firewire perhaps?).

[EDIT] a bit later.... Laptops need an XGP slot apparently (eXternal Graphics Port).

@ kat, cool and interesting :)

regarding blender, is anyone here using it with a two mouse setup? I'm assuming there is a modifier key to turn one of the two buttons into the third but I can't find it.

I've updated the dell version of the gfx driver and blender's glsl mode is now working :D

next is to try and get the input devices working as I still can't pan or zoom.

Nice ratty, almost there :)
