wow, that is werd that would be good for someone who has agp right now and wanted to get an x800xl than go pci-e one day still kind of a waste considering alot of us have switched to pci-e already.

uhhh...because it says XL in the URL (both of them)?

I agree that it's a cool idea, but I kind of doubt it'll ever see the light of day (at retail).

i definitely did not see that coming.

seems like a decent idea

Definately an awesome idea. There are definately quite a few esoteric situatuons where this would be an upgrade lifesaver.

seems like an afterthought... that's goin to use 3 slots. one for the card, another for the DVI transfer cables to come back inside throuh a slot, then another to hook the DVI connections bracket to.

Interesting though...

No it won't Not if the PCB on the graphics cards has been shortened to accomodate it.
