[new build] Using the hybrid crossfire X technology

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has made any new systems with the motherboards that use the Hybrid crossfire technology?

I have a few design details in mind. Under 1200 including the os but no monitor. If its under 1,000 even better. Using the AMD Phenom quad core. I can take a performance hit I'm looking at the energy requirements to help lower the over all power eating requirements. Putting at least 4 gigs ram on the motherboard, a hybrid x crossfire compatible video card that can play all or most current games with some room to spare for newer stuff. Ideally the best bang for the buck and balance between being green and gaming performance.

I realize that gpus on motherboards have been terrible for gamers, but from what I'm reading about the hybrid crossfire technology that you can design a greener gamer rig with a few trade offs.

This design isn't meant for the fan boys of either Amd or Intell to argue over petty details nor which company is better for performance between ati or Nvida. Id even entertain a Intel cpu quad core design but they don't have a mother board that is hybrid crossfire capable.

Os wise It looks like i will be needing the windows vista but not sure whether I should go 64 bit or 32.

My wife wants the game machine to be a bit more greener but I want the performance and on a budget that i wont be living in the doghouse.
