    When I go to the Dell drivers update page for the 1569:

    Drivers & Downloads

    And you go under "Video" tab, it says "AMD-Driver" "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470"

    First off, I thought the 1569 was only supposed to have a Intel HD Graphics video card which is the requirement for the Intel Display Technology to work and not have a dedicated graphics card?

    Then when you click on that it states under fixes and enhancements "Support Intel WiDi application in Switchable Graphic platform"

    and under the new bios tab it says under fixes and enhancements "Support Studio 1569 Park Switchable Graphic"

    What does a "Park Switchable Graphic" actually mean, that the Studio 1569 now will support?

    And under "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD" tab, and under fixes and enhancements it says "New CPU support" What does that mean? Are they referring to the new Bios or something else?
