I have the M5A78L-MLX +.
This Little MicroATX board only has 1 PCi-e 2.0 x16 Slot.
Why on the Specifactions on the website, under "Graphic" it says the Following:
Hybrid CrossFireX™ Support

Wouldnt you need Two PCi-e 2.0 x16 Slots?
Can someone explain this to me, very Confusing.

the motherboard has built in graphics and paired with the right add on card, they will work together for a crossfire like set-up. hence the name "hybrid" crossfire. it is prety similar with the new apu's. you can pair the apu with a second select card and it will crossfire with the apu's build in gpu.

the built in gpu is so low low performing, that it is not worth considering such a set-up. 2 of those are still pretty useless to gaming.
