apu has dedicated graphics core inside the cpu chip n you can buy a gpu that's compatible for dual graphics crossfire with that apu. then with the catalyst driver you can use both gpu memory in crossfire. this kind of apu-gpu crossfire has a special name 'dual graphics'. I think it'll be a good budget friendly alternative. **dual graphics only works on windows 7
