    the first ever Intel/AMD Hybrid..

    It uses a PCI-E port to overrirde the Intel settings. It has 2 PCI-E slots, when the AMD card is in, it aurtomatically disables the first PCI-E, so you can use the second for your video card.

    alough you would have to reformat windows when you switch between intel and AMD.

    just... :eek:

    That's why you would need to use watercooling instead of those heavy heatsinks.
