    What if, we use the nvidia control panel, and add EXPLORER.EXE to the programs that we run using the 335m?

    If anyone willing to try it, cool.

    Post results here. If not, I'll try it tonight.

    Also, post a WEI.

    I was kinda wondering this also, because I like some of the functions that the nvidia card can bring to the desktop.(I made a post on Digital Vibrance). To me this Optimus thing seems lame. Its kinda like...you have a video card but the computer decides when you can use it, and not yourself. When I'm on the go sure I'd like to use the intel, but if I have it plugged in to an outlet I want to use the Nvidia. I'm thinking about going with the M15x because of this but the size is scaring me away.
