What I initially thought when I read the article was that they were going to 
put the DVI connector on the mainboard and then have a slot for a 3D card. 
The 3D card would then feed the display signal back into the mainboard and 
out the DVI connector.  That was the only way I saw it possible to allow the 
CPU to keep showing a display when the graphics card is removed...
