Hi Jef, many thanks for ur support and kindly response. Only one think, that I don't undestand. If I don't want patch my BIOS,I have some problem with my Ubuntu (I'm afraid to update the bios, it's a hard procedure?) I think that I can't switching between video cards, but there may be other problems? I'll wait u about the new maverick installation :-) Cheers, Mauri
