Yes you can.
There have been several made but never made it to the mass market for one reason or another (like the Asus XG).
The one that I know of and that is currently out is the "ViDock 2".
They claim you can take a CHEAP laptop that is several years old and have performance of over 400% and take a newer laptop and get even better results.
It works on 32- and 64-bit Operating Systems: Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X 10.5, and Linux. It uses the ExpressCard on your laptop (PCMCIA).
I have not used this product but have been looking into buying this for my laptop.
They claim: "With ViDock 2 you can turn any laptop with an ExpressCard slot into a hard core graphics and gaming machine, regardless of what video solution the laptop itself might have. ViDock 2 fixes the top three problems of mobile gaming machines: lack of upgradability, falling short of desktop graphics performance, and short battery life. Enjoy the highest level of graphics performance at your workstation while you continue to enjoy the mobility of your laptop while away."
