ok then tell me this. Why do we not have external graphics cards ? Avid has MOJO which is almost the same thing so there is a fast enough cable out there that could do it like firewire 800.

That would solve a lot of upgrade problems.
Because a Powermac can fit a top-end graphics card if you want to!
And you dont buy a Powerbook primarily for gaming..

Eh ? a computer is supost to be your home be it a powerbook or a power mac. I see most buying a powerbook for everything. And there for it should have some sort of power to play games render Motion run Final cut pro real time effects and stand up to tigers core image.
Some want portability. Some want raw power. The two don't easily mesh.
You pick the product that meets your *needs*, and run with it.
Eh that is not the best idea. As sometimes you can only buy one item. And I could say the same then on buying the imac. But really this would solve ALOT of problems for upgradeing easy squeesy. Even on the powermac. You could some how run a farm with them like that.,..

Engineering is trade-offs. So is consumerism. You decide what you need, and find the product that fits it.
Trying to create the uber-laptop is an exercise in futility.
I believe what you're looking for is a PCI-X extension bus, which is actually in the spec. I don't believe anyone is planning on implementing such a beast for laptops, however, it is extreme overkill for 99.9% of the market, and the remaining .1% don't warrant the engineering cost.

Yes. It's an extremely awkward way to make your harddrive less efficient. If you are testdriving operatngs systems, a separate disk is the way to go.
