It sounds like it requires OS support which is currently only present in Windows 7. Better hope that the Linux or Apple driver model can actually support this kind of thing - it would seem likely that Apple will want to take advantage of this in the MBP seeing as they already do the clunkier version of switchable graphics.]]>Feb 9th 2010 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nvidia-optimus-automates-graphics-switching-promises-the-best-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nvidia-optimus-automates-graphics-switching-promises-the-best-o/Feb 9th 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nvidia-optimus-automates-graphics-switching-promises-the-best-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nvidia-optimus-automates-graphics-switching-promises-the-best-o/I have an HP HDX16 with the 130M.
