Let me rephrase.. on what models did this start? _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ "If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans? Maybe he’s not the problem."

NucleusG4 Master•Blaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 10574 Loc: Miami, Fl.	I looked it up with MacTracker. Early 2009 which was 2 refreshes back. I was referring to the dual GPUs.

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17654 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	Back to your original question: Are MBPs the only laptops to use multiple GPU configurations, or are there similar designs/options on the PC side? _________________________

Looking around it seems some PC's have dual GPU's, but I think they run in parallel or something for more speed, not one for power saving and one for performance like the MBP. http://techreport.com/articles.x/6931/1 _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

NucleusG4 Master•Blaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 10574 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Yes, you are correct. I was only looking at the 17". It was introduced first in 15" in late 08. :rollseyes: _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ "If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans?
