Could you post a short summary, or send email to me, as I have no idea what

The only time I've seen it used was when I got a Dell with their advanced video board. Since the board didn't support VGA, you link a standard VGA board to the advanced board through the feature connector. That way you connected the monitor to one of the boards, but would get the services of both. -- Marshall L.
