I recently bought an HD camera and I've done some editing on my MBP which caused the fans to spin like crazy. The same goes for watching YouTube videos in HD. I thought this was because of Lion, since I never had any issues with Snow Leopard. Nevertheless, I was doing some reading on graphics cards when I came across this help article from Apple:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4152

The thing that bugs me is this sentence
Two entries should appear under Video Card: "Intel HD Graphics" and "NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M".

If I follow the instructions, I get this:

As you can see, there is no mention of an Intel graphics card. If I click Support and then Specifications, I get this article that also says I should have an Intel HD graphics card:

Does anyone know what is going on? Did Apple forget my graphics card?
 
Thanks, it is listed there. So the window I got to only shows the graphics card in use?
