My new laptop from Dell was ordered with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M Graphics Card. I've just used CPUZ and it tells me that i have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 (GT2+). My question is this, is this an inferior graphics card, I hope not...... 
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

A lot of modern laptops switch off the dedicated graphics card when it isnt needed to save power. I know that mine does.100% G33K
