That's really cool as it brings new life to old laptops. But I am surprised that the author was surprised that it worked as well as it does. If you take away the graphics, any game will run on just about any laptop as the rest is just data, just may not run fast.
Maybe I will get one and try it on my 1990 laptop. I wonder if this would work on Smart phones?

Some things are meant to be closed. Your mind isn't one of them.
He was surprised, because the CPU can be a bottleneck point for most High-End Cards. The CPU and the GPU are forced to work together so, you generally don't want the two...too far away from each other in spec.
It wouldn't work in a Smart phone: 1. The interface connector is not there. 2. The drivers for those cards aren't written for Smart phone OS's. Doesn't mean they couldn't be though.
