Yeah, nice feature for those unwilling to spend the $20 difference between a 8500GT (works in hybrid sli with integrated) and the 8600GT (about how much performance the 8500 and 8200 together give you).

Hybrid POWER on the other hand is good, throw in a 9800GTX and have the vid card automatically turn off when just puttering around windows, but kick into high gear for gaming. 

Downsides with all this is the on-board vid only supports single channel DVI at best, so limited to 1920x1200.

This has got to be the most LAZILY put together, half ass approached article I've seen on The Inquirer. WTF! Was this actually written by an adult? My 12 year old son could do better than this, and English is his 3rd language!

If you're talking about entry level gaming this is a good, probably low cost system. This is no threat whatsoever to mid-to-enthusiast level cards though.
