    Is there a way to have the default card be the ATI card in the T500, Like have it boot to this card, and always run with this card?

    Ill be using 3d programs whenever this laptop is on so i dont need the integrated at all.

    Thanks!

    Yes, go into the bios and change the video settings to discrete in the config area.
