    That's pretty clever! I've seen commercial solutions for external GPUs, but didn't think building your own would be doable. Nice!

    I want to see this:
    NVIDIA Geforce 8600GT DDR2 with a custom-built PCB supporting 8gb DDR2

    the 8600GT Go has been mapped to the system ram as well, so it allows "full" memory mapping up to 8GB,

    unlike ViDock, it has no controller or anything, my has a S3C6410 ARM controller to do signal processing

    lol every thing after "A homemade tablet" made me feel like less of a man. Remember back in the day wear a ball of string and some sticks made you happy?

    Great Article. I am little bit confused...Did you buy the External PCI-Express 16X adapter or did you make it in house?
