I have an HP...

It came with an ONBOARD Nvidia 9100...

I want to buy a nice graphics card BUT.........

Is there a card that will actually work WITH the onboard?

It would be nice to use the onboard AND a card in some kind of SLI type thing...

I've come accross several things, about combining and hybrid sli and geforce boost...

Any ideas???

I was ripped off if there isn't :(

There was another HP in a box for 100 bucks less that had a card (some low end ATI HD 3xxx) and quad core, but only 4 gig mem... I got dual core, 8gig mem, onboard Nvidia 9100... those were the only differences...... but mine was 100 bucks more!? why?

No.

Hybrid SLI is not an option on that Pegatron M2N78-LA motherboard.

Luckily the motherboard does have a PCI-e x16 slot so you can add in a video card.
With that 300W power supply you should be able to use a Radeon HD 4670 or GeForce 9600 GSO or 9600GT.

If you don't mind pushing your PSU a little bit harder you could step up to the GeForce 9800 GT or Radeon HD 4830.
