In the BIOS setup utility of ASUS M3N78-EM, there is an option to set iGPU Frame Buffer Size instead of Hybrid SLI (as has been stated in the manual). What might be the reason for this, and what does iGPU Frame Buffer Size relate to?

The iGPU stands for Integrated Graphics Processing Unit. That setting controls the amount of memory you give to the integrated graphics on your motherboard. Typically this can be values from 32MB to 512MB depending on the board.
I believe when Hybrid SLI is enabled which combines your iGPU with an external discrete GPU, the option to control the amount of memory is turned off since this is managed by the board.
