HybridSLI on DFI motherboard?

[Denithor]

DFI LP JR GF9400-T2RS

Under specifications it lists Hybrid SLI on the two PCIe 2.0 slots (x16/x2).

1) Will this actually work? Do they have some kind of hacked driver that enables SLI or what?
2) How bandwidth-constricted would a 9800GTX or GTX 260 be at PCIe 2.0 x2 speeds? (Equal to x4 at PCIe 1.1 speeds, if I'm not mistaken.)

Anyone have any experience with this or wanna be a guinea pig?

its an nforce chipset

Hybrid SLI is SLI between the onboard nForce graphics and a card in the first PCIe 16x slot. It allows the computer to shut off the discreet GPU on idle times (such as the desktop and light 2D) and work only on the integrated graphics. I believe, however, on the first few iterations of Hybrid SLI (still maybe?), that only low-end cards can be used to activate Hybrid SLI.

That's Hybrid SLI in a nutshell, although I'm pretty sure that this only works with boards that have nForce + integrated gpu.
