The premise is that rather than transmitting video information over AGP or PCIe you would do so over USB. The investment in technology is expensive. USB Monitors begin at around $300 and you have to have software in place. In the case of computer-to-monitor configs, your CPU will be doing the compression of information to transmit over the USB network. If you want dedicated hardware to accelerate the compression, you're talking about another $300 or so. The problem with this is that the technology for PCIe and AGP is so much more advanced for similar prices and you are not using compression technology. Present GPU technology provides multiple dedicated processors for use not only in graphics applications, but for users of OS X and the forthcoming 10.6, the regular OS will make use of those GPUs. I doubt any application will be able to use the processors dedicated to transmitting video over USB. This is technology is useful for quick build-up and teardown of multiple monitor setups, sure, but as a replacement for mature technology already in place on Macintosh systems, this is a solution in search of problem.
