Liantec has what they call TinyBus. You can slap various types of modules into the same slot, using a TinyBus adapter. Here's one of their mobos that use it:

and here's the TinyBus module for MXM PCIExpressx16 card:

notebook OEM's always complain about MXM taking up too much space, but for MotD systems and HTPC systems, it would be great. low power graphics chips paired with low power CPU's to make quiet systems in a smaller form factor than current video cards.
