Cant in mine, can only choose which to use as primary (which i did, with no effect) Problem is tho, this is not very user friendly. A normal desktop user does not know what a bios is, nor how to to stuff in it. Also he/she usually does not know how to manually install nvidia drivers. I dont think forcing users to frickle in their bios (whats the plural of bios? biose, biosi, bioses?) is the way to go, since how should one know to do this? Normal user only sees "no nvidia drivers available" or does not even know there are any and just experiences poor performance and not working games resulting in an unhappy user.
