That is correct, you make the change in System Preferences, but making the change is not necessarily going to increase performance either. The Mac will switch if I recall correctly for graphics intensive processes. The option is in System Preferences, Energy Saver and look for graphics. This will be a radio button you set either for better battery life or better performance. Just not sure how much performance increase there will be. Think I'll have to try it out and honestly I'm not sure how much it would affect battery life either and something else to check into. On Aug 26, 2009, at 10:57 AM, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote:
