I've never heard of any such solution. If you need faster graphics card, which you probably don't for most things, you might want to look at trading up for a newer iMac.Originally Posted by MohamadAkkad
I was looking for a new graphics cad for my imac 24" (early 2008), but then realized that there it is hard to upgrade the graphics card on the iMac, so I am wondering if it is possible to have an external graphics card to connected to my iMac.
Does any one know such a kind of graphics card.
Note that I am searching for a graphics card to used with snow leopard.

You might want to hold on.
It's very possible that Apple will resolve that with an update.
You might also want to wait and see the difference that feature makes.
But as for an external solution, you are out of luck.
The USB's bandwidth is not capable of handling the needed throughput.
There are solutions that can get you a monitor connected via USB.
But they are not that capable.
And more important, it is less likely Snow Leopard will benefit from that.

Thanks all for your responses, and I will hold to see the results.
C'mon guys of course its available

And u might even heard about Tesla GPU supercomputers

Keep googling bro!
But does that support Snow Leopard's Grand Central?
I seriously doubt it.
And that is pretty much all he wants it for.
If it does, on the other hand, this is one amazingly simple way to add cores to your system.
Pop in a dozen of these, and you got a whopping system.

So hakka, it is worth to buy it, or not?
Because recent generation of Macs based on nVidia chipset i pretty much sure it works well with other nVidia technologies. Probably Tesla GPU will support Grand Central in final release.
With regard of any external hardware - its just a matter of divers as you know. Depends on customers interest i will or will not support grand central
