and i thought it would be great for macbook but it needs expresscard slots

Hmm then I thought

Is it possible to make a USB 2.0 to expresscard adaptor, while it may not have the full speed of a expresscard port maybe, just maybe the adaptor could use 2 usb and 1 firewire port, or even better I had another idea.

I guess its theoretically possible to make the LAN port do this, its a fast lan port, and software could be written along with drivers which allow it to handle expresscard things such as this external graphics card

    This isn't going to happen... if you need a better vid card, you have the option of upgrading to the MacBook Pro.
