    So things like Youtube/Hulu/flash videos will not work on battery power when NVIDIA ION graphics is enabled. They DO work when I'm plugged into a wall though. They also work when I switch my graphics to the integrated version and am either watching on battery power or I'm plugged into a wall. It isn't that much of an issue as I get the same video performance with either graphics option, but it's just a little weird. Anyone know what's going on?

    NVIDIA PowerMizer Technology ?

    Perhaps poke around in Nvidias Control Panel? And see if there is a setting that is keeping it that way on battery?
