    I believe i read some where that ATI was going to do a graphics card in a laptop that could run at the same time as the integrated one, to get a boost in performance. Does anyone know if the T400 setup can do this.

    I know you can switch between integrated and dedicated, but can you run both at the same time, is there plans to add this ability layer if the T400 cant do it now?

    Reading on this forum i have seen hints to wait for a month or as as Lenovo is revising there T400 adding stuff to it. What are they adding exactly.


    I just bought a HP DV4T and am not to happy with trackpad or my dead pixals or the Key that was sticking up... Looking at other laptops.

    Thanks

    T400 does not do this because of any of 2 reasons:
    1. Intel's 4500MHD does not support Crossfire
    2. Lenovo's motherboard does not support Crossfire

    The 3470 does support Crossfire, but at least one of the other two components are lacking for this to work.
