back to report..
at last.. my win7 can run games.. everything.. everything is fine.. but the games abit cacat.. vid etc maybe due to the compatible mode..
and for the switching part.. i think there isnt any problem.. for now.. the 4570 is set as the main display.. default display.. when running on battery.. it will switch itself to 3200..
if i wanna switch if manually. a way is by powerxpress or by ATI CCC.. which i set the screen res under the 3200.
but still im going to chg to vista later.

Good day everyone an owner of k40AB here. I wanna ask what is this 'VIA HD Audio Deck' thing in my system? And what is SRS exactly? Is it the audio sandbox software? And why i cant run Generals Zero Hour? a screen popped out saying 'fatal error bla bla' while loading the game. Is it a game for a more advanced system? Sifus help please. Thanks for your time

It's normal, 8600M GS is a CLASS 3 GPU whereas HD 4570 is a CLASS 2 GPU.

Pls refer to http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of...ards.130.0.htmlI know that site long before I bought this lappy, if you just to refer to that site it may say so, but on specification itself, this GPU memory is underclocked from 800MHz to 500MHz so it was basically a lot lower bandwidth from 8600M GS
