MSI's MXM SLI

[Schwarz]

As we already know XMX is Nvidia's solution to portable computer graphics.
Now you will ask me why SLI.
Well this new prototype by MSI will sport 2 MXM modules and thus MXM SLI.
This new card will be the world's first upgradable videocard due to the fact that
the board supports all types of MXM modules.
Type I, II and III.
As for cooling MSI is thinking of using fanless heatsincs for the retail version.
For now MSI has succesfully tested it using 2 small coolers and a 4cm fan.
This could lead to the first fanless SLI video card !
Here are a few pictures.

I read this and talk about a long-ass card. :shock:

[Schwarz]

Yah it is pretty long !!
But this is a prototype.
If there is ever a retail version I think it will probably be smaller or I hope ...

I sure hope that the final board would be smaller, else I can forsee some space issues arising...

But wow, fanless SLI?! Inconceivable!! :P Bet you could fry up a mean egg on one of these :P
