Any way to have my 4850 and my 3450 installed, but only one powered at any time?

I've got a P5Q PRO, unpossible?

Quite happy to swap the display connection at start-up, depending on whether I'm going to game or not, but it would be a total pita having to physically swap cards each time.

With my 3450 I was using about 60-70W for office/net/email/HDTV/DVDs, with the 4850 I'm doing the same things at 110-120W :p

Q6600/4GB RAM/750GB 32MB Spinpoint/PCI HDTV tuner/2x120mm/1x80mm are the other loads in the case.

ATI has mentioned the possibility of enabling something like this in their drivers, but so far they haven't.
Currently only nvidia supports such a set up, and not even on all sli mobos.
