    My laptop gets pretty hot when I connect an HDMI to TV using the Geforce Video Card mode, and clone tv mode.

    I was wondering if its possible to do clone tv mode with the standard intel cards duo mode... im not sure how to ask this so clear...basically i dont want to stress my nvidia card i want to use the intel duo core video cards for clone mode..
