    hi i have HP DV 2700 with nvidia 8400m gs. the laptop has 2 graphics chips intel gm965 chipset with gma3100 and 8400m gs. is it possible to switch between the two. i am having problems with drivers. i am not able to install latest drivers from nvidia site. it doesnt show on rivatuner saying nvidia driver not detected. the driver from hp works but its very old 176.xx. so is there a way out to install new driver and switch between graphics.
    i searched intel site but did nt find any thing related to this problem.The bios doesnt have any option like the desktop pc s have. Does bios tweaking help ...

    The dv2700 doesnt support switchable graphics. As far as installing drivers, you will need to modify the drivers to install on mobile GPU's Look at Laptopvideo2go ( http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/) for mobile drivers.
