    Hi,

    Looking for help from an Asus user who has switchable graphics enabled...

    Over in this thread [ http://forum.notebookreview.com/gam...54-does-hm55-have-switchable-graaphics-3.html] we're trying to enable switchable graphics on hardware that technically supports it, but the vendors have not enabled it.

    If you have switchable graphics, with a Core i processor, and the Intel HM55 chipset, along with a dedicated video card, then you can help supply some necessary info.

    We need the PCI table for the integrated graphics processor on the cpu. You can read the table using this program: RW-Everything: RW - Read & Write

    Once you install the program, open Access, PCI, and select the option "Bus 00, Device 02, Function 00 - Intel Corporation Display Controller"

    The table will look something like this:
    Untitled.png

    Upload a screenshot like that, and we can try using those values to assign the correct IRQ, memory resources, etc to the IGP on our CPUs. Thanks for any help!
