Who's running one of these?
I know Bully has one. What software have you installed from the AI Suite? What about the Digi+ VRM part?
And are you using the Lucid Virtu software? I have this "Switchable Graphics" on my i3 laptop but these GTX 560 cards drop their speed anyway so I'm wondering if there's really any benefit.
Something I'm going to look into over the next couple of days I think

Digi+ VRM

Does the intel virtualization setting need to be enabled or disabled in the bios ?

[Lloyd_mcse]

I have it enabled.

[Lloyd_mcse]

Well, I thought I had it enabled, but after flashing to this latest BIOS version, it was disabled. I assume the flashing reset it, so I just turned it back on.
