Z87 chipsets aren't just better for overclocking. They're the only chipset that can OC the cpu. Almost any Z87 board will likely be satisfactory for the OP. When in doubt get one that's fairly cheap yet well rated. Or read some reviews from professional sources.
You didn't look very hard. This is the first result when googling it: http://lucidlogix.com/products/virtu-mvp-2-0-for-windows/
Takes you right to the companies product page. Basically it's a set of proprietary chipset drives that allows the IGP (integrated graphics processor) on your cpu and your discrete GPU (graphics card) to both be used by the system at the same time. This enables some pretty nifty features. I'm not going to take the time to explain them all in detail here because it's a lot of information and it can easily be googled if you really want to know. I don't think it's necessary or that most people will care about having it. The drivers have also been known to be buggy in the past. I don't know if that's changed recently or not. Motherboard manufacturers have to pay royalties to lucid to support it so motherboards that support it tend to cost a bit more as a result.
I would love to but you haven't asked any specific questions (other than the one I answered above). So there is nothing for me to answer.
