    Hi all,

    i just recently got an m17x R2 and thought i would check th ebios for the elusive hyrid mode...just to make sure everything was ok, as i know this can sometimes cause problems with the graphics cards.

    i cant find Hybrid mode under any option in my BIOS, i can see performance options relating to power and my processor but nothing about graphics.

    was there a revision in the bios where this option isnt available.

    AFAIK, M17x-R2 with ATI/AMD graphics card has no integrated gpus, therefore you can't find the hybrid mode there. :)
