If I understand you right this function is only available on certain motherboards, (eg Asus M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI) where the graphic card (nvidia 8600gt) does the graphics for gaming and the onboard chip (intel GMA 3100) does the 2d graphics. This is thought of as a way to save power. The same hybrid SLI technology also allows the two to work together.

If you have a motherboard that is designed for this I would recomend that you look in your manufactures handbook. Also note a bios update may be necessary!

I hope this helps
