Yea its like a motherboard on a motherboard 
Also read the article a few days back.. I remember my old 466Mhz P2 had a removable CPU slot (Was like an attachment) So I guess you could have slotted in a newer socket if you wanted to... Just to bad AGP4x only went that far

It looks pretty plausible in my opinion. Never imagined it would come to this though. But then again graphics cards are actually (generally, but with exception) the most expensive component of a computer. Why buy a new graphics card because it runs low on memory when you can simply upgrade the memory module? It creates a whole new market. Although in short people will spend say R400 for a memory module instead of R3000 for a better graphics card. But on the other hand more people will opt for upgrading the memory, etc instead of not upgrading at all.
