I've played with this Express gate a little.  It actually uses a linux core
on a flash chip on supported motherboards and is more generally known as
Splashtop.

Basically you've got a linux based netbook OS available on your expensive
motherboard.  I failed to see the usefulness of this on a desktop machine
but YMMV especially if your machine is located somewhere central in your
house where you might want to browse the web quickly and then shut down
again.

According to this thread Hybrid SLI is only available on vista (and my guess
win7 also).  Nvidia's forums are down right now but the google cache has
some info:
