    Just received my new little toy today and Im very impressed and happy. One thing though thast is annoying me is that when I switch from descreat to integrated graphics my OSD is very fast. I cant tell if im going from descreat to integrated or the reverse. I wouldnt mind this much if there is an easy way to see what graphics Im currently running.

    So my questing is two fold. Can I some how make the OSD be better behaved and not "flash" the message so fast that I could read what graphics Im going to, or is there an easy way to see what graphics Im currently running?

    Thanks in advance!

    Look near the clock:

    One green bar means integrated. Two green bars means discrete.
