ASUS ROG XG Station officially announced

@ 2008/05/27

ASUS has finally decided to officially announce its ROG XG Station. Back when it was first introduced and showcased, the XG Station was packing a Geforce 7900GS, but today when it is officially announced, the new ROG XG Station packs a bit more punch with Geforce 8600GT with 256MB of memory.

ROG XG Station has a rather attractive black case with an LCD that shows real time info about GPU frequency, temperature, fan speed and current FPS number. The new XG Station comes with dual PCI-Express x1 slots which theoretically supports SLI. With PCI-E x1 slots SLI will probably end up highly crippled, so it will probably stay as a theoretical solution.

What punch are we talking about? 8600 GT is pretty much on par with 7900GS performance wise

most entry level gaming laptops come with 8600 M GT or higher, so what good is an external mid/low-level VGA card
