Any HDD will work , 2.5" SATA that is

Anyway i found a neat tool for those who wanna get more of their hybrid MacBook Pro graphics (9600GT/9400GT or 330M/Intel). There is this tool which allows you to switch on the fly (even for 9600gt/9400gt , no more logout/login) . Its called gfx card status , i got it and its working great

Some neat find

When my MBP is on Intel graphics

When my MBP is using nVidia Graphics. It seems that its able to output sound via HDMI , notice Audio Device - nVidia

MBP i7, with the 330mgt card. Serious? Smooth?? why mine isn't?? What setting you used? Are you playing on boot camp on on OSX?

10.6.4 has graphics issue with nvidia card. It degrades the performance. I'll host up an official driver from nvidia later in my blog. The driver is meant for MacPro , but Ive tested for my MBP i5 330m gt and it does improve the performance !

Thats how Apple product works. If you want wait , wait for 3-4 years and you'll get a new one. Its either now or never.
