What is a eGPU?

[Bhargav Simha]

Heard from a friend that we can use a normal desktop graphic card as external graphhics cards for laptops... but he coudnt elaborate further?
How does this setup work?? What are its advantages and dis-advantages?? Does the setup provide same performace as when the GPU is used in a desktop or are there any bottlenecks?

i also asked this question with a Vidock..somewhere in this forum earlier...lost it...i guess the tech is obsolete now. Anyone care to elaborate.

It is very costly and not worth it.
