I have a T500 and for the life of me, I can't remember how to initiate the graphics card...

I believe you click on the Power Manager to change GPUs if that's what you're asking.

You first need to go into the BIOS and make sure that feature is enabled. Once it IS enabled, you also need to be running Vista to take advantage of it as Windows XP doesn't support switchable graphics.
