Magma ExpressBox1 is an easy-to-use device for attaching a "desktop-only" PCI Express (PCI-E) card to a laptop. This capability allows a user to combine the power of a desktop and the mobility of a laptop into a powerful, flexible, mobile workstation. For example, a user can turn a typical, middle-of-the-road laptop into a powerful gaming, scientific computer or audio and video editing workstation by simply adding the right PCI Express card to ExpressBox1 then connecting to a laptop.
 No latency, 2000Mbps, Faster than USB and Firewire
Based on new PCI Express® technology, ExpressBox1 provides a no latency connectivity solution with a theoretical maximum throughput of 2000Mbps (or 250 MegaBytes per second) each direction... That's 2.5 times faster than Firewire 800 and 4.1 times the speed of USB 2.0!
Magma ExpressBox1 (Model EB1H) weighs only 2.8 pounds and supports cards up to 6.604 inches long”. Magma ExpressBox1 Pro (Model EB1F) weighs only 4.3 pounds and can support cards up to 12.283 inches long.

 Attention Gamers and GPU Gurus!
Magma ExpressBox1 is designed for "single-width" graphics cards that require no more than 55 watts of power. "Double-wide" graphics cards or cards that require auxiliary power will be compatible with the next generation Magma ExpressBox expected later this year.
FOR WINDOWS VISTA: It is best to use a laptop with ATI graphics technology paired with an external ATI graphics card.
FOR MACOS X: You must use the Nvidia 7300GT card. The ATI Radeon x1900XT and Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 are "double-wide" cards and will not physically fit into Magma ExpressBox1.
