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...
