there is something strange with my laptop suppose when we change to dGPU mode, we can freely switch either HD3200 or HD4570 right? when we change to the PowerExpress mode, the laptop will use HD3200, right? but why my laptop is vice versa?? LoL.... in PowerExpress mode, i can freely switch either HD3200 or HD4570 but in dGPU mode, there is only HD4570.

In dGPU mode the laptop will only use 4570. PowerXpress, can switch between 3200 or 4570. So your laptop is working fine.

Win7 juz use Vista driver will do... some hardware even ve Win7 drivers already...
as for XP, not really recommended... it's 8 yrs old, thus u may not find some drivers... besides, u'll lose Advanced PowerPlay as well... iirc XP Catalyst do not support it...

for xp, for bios setting need to change 1) IDE AHCI to NATIVE IDE 2) POWEREXPRESS MODE to dGPU (recommended using hd470 only)

After updating Windows Vista, the brightness control issue seems to be gone. And now I can freely switch between HD3200 and HD4570. Awesome.
