There is probably a proprietary PCIX slot in the back.  You probably could add another video card to do a secondary display to have additional content on, but it's speed would be severly limited by the system bus speed.

Really the whole point of a console is that you get a unified architecture and don't need to upgrade anything.

I doubt that users will just be popping in new graphics cards, no matter what anyone says.

the one thing that immediately popped into mind as a valuable expansion is hardware that is not yet set to a standard (hd-dvd or blu-ray) drive add-on so you don't have to buy a new console to use new media,.. and the one that i am more interested in is a Physics Processing Unit.  these have not yet been finalized and will not be available to market for a while,.. so i would love to see them selling a PhysX 256mb PPU addon for the 360.

edit: can anyone explain #13 to me
