    Hi, I was wondering if there is onboard graphics on my W3J and if there is, is there any simple way to be able to switch between them casually (for battery life and heat purposes). THanks.

    ANother note is that I was wondering if anyone can explain why I can't seem to overclock with NHC, and when I try ATI Tools it says my default graphics speeds are 86 / 86 Mhz.

    My Specs are -
    W3J H026P
    T2500 2.0 Ghz
    1024 MB RAM
    ATi X1600 256 MB

    Nope.

    The only one that can right now is the Sony SZ. I think there may be another high end machine by Clevo, but I don't recall.
