    Hey people,

    A simple question how does this feature work..the PM55 chipset doesn't include any integrated GFX that I know of..so how does this work or has it been specially modified for Dell?

    The M17x I have ordered has Crossfire 5870 would I still have integrated gfx? :confused:

    Unfortunately the R2 refresh did not include an integrated GPU. I'm not sure about the reason but it probaby has something to do with that the R2 uses ATI cards exclusively and the 9400m is Nvidia?
