MSI has presented its Geminium-Go graphics card, which is the very first MXM SLI Card:

Powered by NVIDIA GO6600 mobile GPU
Optimized for low-power consumption system
Two MXM slot for installing MXM module
Enable SLI mode in single graphic card
512MB on board DDR graphic memory
PCI Express 16X Interface

The MSI Geminium-GO is an adapter for MXM module. When installing one or two MXM graphic cards onto MSI Geminium-GO, users can apply mobile GPU in desktop computer. If users want to upgrade the graphic performance, they could change the MXM module without changing MSI Geminium-GO.

MSI Geminium-GO demonstrates that users can experience better graphic performance with low power consumption. During testing in 3DMark05, the MSI Geminium-GO got over 4200 points, while 6600 desktop graphics card got only 3600 (Resolution 1024 x 768, SLI mode). Due to less power needed, the MSI Geminium-GO produces less noise and heat. As a result, the large fan is not required.
