I’ve obviously missed something simple, but so far I have not been able to figure it out. I just got the Asus N43 (460mm i5, nVidia 435M), and although I see an option on the shortcut menu to launch an application directly to the discrete NVIDIA Optimus graphics unit, and I suspect it will automatically switch to it under load (haven ‘t hat is the time to try out the game), we did not find any option to switch between integrated and discrete applications manually and independently. I mean, if I just want to keep it running all the time for any reason 435M. Power4Gear lists some of Intel’s integrated power plans graphic, and there is also a dedicated control panel is running in my taskbar, but it does not seem possible to convert all the dedicated NVIDIA Optimus GPU.

You can force it to use Nvidia or Intel GPU for a particular application of the NV center, where the switching GPU is broken. Because it forced me to use Optimus Intel IGP is running in IE8 because when I used the Youtube GT420M. Basically eats the battery to nothing.

I get Windows 7 Ultimate for free from work, and I bought a laptop with Windows 7 home premium. I was wondering if there was a legal way for me to get home premium on my desktop computer, because I want the ultimate version to be on my laptop.

I realize this question has been answered a lot, but I’m looking for a answer specific to my question. Thank you.

In addition to hype there are some tangible reasons to upgrade and or switch over to Windows Vista. I can recount only some of them. Start from the appearance. Windows Vista looks different; window, desktop, start button, start menu, taskbar, everything has a new look. Window in Windows Vista looks somewhat similar to that of in Mac OSX. Minimize, maximize and the close buttons seem new. The windows can be made to appear in translucent, 3D modes, if the new Aero is applied. The start button has been modified to give a new look and the word “start” is gone. Instead new Windows logo appears in start button. Start menu and wallpapers are also new. The desktop contains a side bar, which shows a clock, and some of the widgets. Windows Vista provides high level of security measures. Windows Vista that comes with Internet Explorer which is version 7.0 provides a higher degree of security to the system, as well as, the operating system environment. It includes phasing filter to provide higher security while surfing the net. Protection against spamming is also provided. The other security measures include tools such as Windows defender, advanced firewall, Encryption/Decryption of data, support for NTFS partitions, auto backup. The Windows Defender is a program which blocks suspicious programs which tries to do some illegal activity in the computer system. Also users can control kids by using parental controls in Windows Vista. Parents can now deny access to certain programs especially, the games. At the same time the Windows Media Player 11 enhances video, audio quality when playing sound, music, videos. One of my favorite features in Windows Vista is search results. Users can have a new and improved search experience in Vista; they can manage images more efficiently with inbuilt Photo Gallery and a lot more.
