Yeah, I've got a brand new Macbook and I really wanna play Star Trek:Legacy on it, But it's graphics card Sucks.
Help Me!

P.S.- To run Legacy I use windows, so it can be window compatable.

that what they want you to do buy another laptop more money for them they dont give a fly fart , if you wanan get rich quick scheme invent one that can play 3d accelerated games instead of 1500$ laptop becoming a 1500$ portable dvd player in 6months because is absolete. you cant tell me they can send a man to the moon but cant make an external video card

I agree with atkoj , no external graphics cards exist because the laptops graphics card is integrated on to the motherboard, although a small number of vendors have graphics cards that you can upgrade not many do.

Asus has saved the day!

Its called Asus XG station.. and they will sell it in reasonable price range then it is our saviour

So what exactly do you need on your laptop to run the XG station in the first place? Doesn't look like it plugs into a PCMCIA slot (I guess thats too slow?)
