How do I use the 9400m graphics card while in Windows?
When running Windows on my MacBook Pro it always reports that it's using the beefier 9600M. Since battery life is already pretty limited I want to switch to the slower but less power hungry 9400m but I can't figure out how. Can anyone help?
I’m confused

Inappropriate?I've read several places that state that currently you cannot do this. When booted into Windows (which I usually am), you're locked into the 9600. NVidia has what's called "dynamic switching", which allows you to switch between the two, but that's disabled/unavailable in Windows (at least from what I can find at the moment).
Additionally, nVidia offers something called GeForce Boost Mode, which also allows you to run both simultaneously (in systems where both the integrated and the discrete chips are installed), but this too is currently unavailble either when booted into Mac or Windows.
