    I've already returned one DV6 that HP couldn't get the Radeon to turn on in any circumstance. Now others are complaining about slightly different issues, but what I want to know SPECIFICALLY: does anyone have a DV6 made in the last couple of weeks (it won't have the option to manually switch graphics--it will instead have an option to choose if a program runs on the Radeon-- ie, you select an executable to run on the Radeon) that shows RADEON when you first open up FSX and go to the Customize graphics dialog box?

    haha! Hey, it's a mere $28! :) (and it ran GREAT on my first DV6, btw. great frame rates and fluidity (once I set the AffintyMask=12 parameter).
