Crossfire with Onboard Gfx :!
Prior to holding its Financial Analyst Day in New York City, AMD showed off some new CrossFire-related technology to a few select members of the press. What we saw was AMD’s Hybrid CrossFire and its associated hardware, which marries next-generation integrated graphics processors (IGP) and entry-level discreet graphics cards for increased performance and functionality. Please note, however, that “Hybrid CrossFire†may not be the official name of this platform when it is made available sometime in early to mid Q108.

This 'crossfire' will boost FPS count by around 100% at medium settings with only at the cost of $50 (In India read Rs 3000)

AMD Hybrid CrossFire Sneak Peek - HotHardware
 
Heard about this a few weeks back, I dont think it still has the important feature of letting the onboard handle the desktop and the addon card to come in only during games, this will lead to huge power savings ( even more then the normal gfx wokrking on a lower 2d clock).
 
nvidia also have similar tech lined up called d hybrid sli wid d 7 series chipsets and there upcoming 9 series gpus.
