Magma ExpressBox

Serious PC gamers usually stick to using a desktop PC to play games rather than using a laptop, because a laptop cannot provide the graphic effects that a dedicated graphics card can produce. And these cards are too bulky to connect to a laptop. Now what if you need high end graphics performance in your laptop... Magma has introduced a device for attaching the desktop-only PCI express card to a laptop. Using this users can convert their laptop to powerful mobile workstations. ExpressBox uses the PCIExpress technology and has a no latency connectivity with a theoretical maximum of 250MBps in each direction. That is 2.5 times faster than the firewire800 and 4.1 times faster than USB2.0. The Magma ExpressBox comes in two sizes so as to fit cards upto 6.6" and 12.28" long. The ExpressBox can provide dedicated power and cooling to the PCI card inside. Magma ExpressBox support single-width videocards that require 55 watts or less. Double-wide ones that require auxiliary power will be compatible with the next gen ExpressBox which will be available soon.
