Thinking about the fact that Laptop gfx can't be interchangable... i started wondering if external graphics units are possible.

My thought as to why it hasn't been done is the speed limits on usb 2.0 but with technology getting ever so more powerful, im sure something like this is possible... or am i missing something.
