Hybrid Power Guide and Investigation
Most SLI users and high end enthusiasts can appreciate the growing power and heat requirements of the high end enthusiast market. This is an area HybridPower™ aims to provide much needed alleviation to this problem. When there are 3 Way and Quad SLI setups out there capable of pulling anywhere from 160 to 250 watts the question comes to mind. Do you really need your high end SLI setups to power your internet browsing experience where you will spend likely half of your PC usage? Hybrid Power Guide and Investigation |

My only worry is the drivers, I havent had a warm fuzzy feeling about Nvidias Vista drivers for along time. Althought the experince of having the 8800GTX in my laptop my persuade me to go green once again.

This is fairly exciting technology, and addresses one of the main hurdles (the other being cost) that has kept me from considering SLI / Crossfire configurations for my own gaming rigs. Frankly, I don't have much time for gaming, so it simply doesn't make sense to have multiple discrete cards installed for my daily usage. |

My only concern is will or will there not be a DDR2 version of the next nVidia Hybrid Intel board. |
