You didn't actually answer my question. I already knew that was true; my laptop has the same configuration. I was wondering, though, if the AMD processors and video cards had a driver (or something) that enables the two to work better than with the equivalent competition mixture (i.e. Intel + ATi).

nope, ATI cards run faster on Core is' in general.

It doesn't make a difference. Intel+AMD card performs exactly the same as AMD+AMD card. The 'synergy' thing is marketing hype really, you'll only see benefits when the GPU goes on the CPU die later this year with Fusion (Llano).

that's only assuming that they put high end GPU in there with direct memory access at the speed of GDDR5+, which i don't see happening atm. it's really just the faster CPU will make the difference with video cards in general. Core i's are just a little faster atm in general at the same price range without OC or unlocking chances.
