In this part of the world external boxes are cheaper than PCI cards. The
PCI cards are also usually avoided even by windows people as many of them
do a lot of DSL processing using the main CPU and trash gaming
performance as a result.

If they do this in the library btw please remember that you can't use the
FPU/MMX/etc registers in kernel on x86 Linux.
