    I have a question, how do I use the Centrino 2 functions in where as switching the graphic card from external to integrated and other functions. Is there a program for it or something?

    Centrino 2 is a platform (Intel CPU+Chipset+Wifi).
    A notebook's motherboard needs to be specifically built to support hybrid graphics.
    Which notebook is it ?

    If your notebook was made to support hybrid graphics it should be stated clear as day how to switch back and forth in your owner's manual. ;)

    Well that answers that question, you can't. You don't have hybrid graphics so not an option for you. ;) :)
