I find myself using the 17" uMBP with the Nvidia 9400m gt card more often

Anyone else out there with the 17" uMBP find themselves using the 9400m gt card alot more than the 9600m gt overall?

I noticed that the mbp runs so much cooler with the 9400m gt, especially the battery life is much better. Also when running on battery its seems to not underclock on the 9400m gt card as it does with the 9600m.

This is why Nvidia Optimus will rock. You won't have to do anything to switch between them. It will be as seamless as a hybrid car.
