AMD A-Series processors quesstion

I am looking at the following HP DV6ZQE (quad edition) http/www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&series_name=dv6zqe_series&a1=Category&v1=High%20performance

Which has a new AMD A6-3400M processor with the built in 6520G graphics card. When I select to upgrade to a "1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD Dual Graphics [HDMI, VGA]" Which I found out form hp is a "Radeon 6700m series card" (somone in the reviews said it was a 6750m even though hp wasn't specific) it says it has dual graphics.
SO MY QUESTION IS: that means that they put a whole new gfx card in the laptop right? So I will be able to take advantage oF dual gfx. and therefor turning it into a 6775g2 (Which is the default 6520g plus the 6750m when u have dual gfx in ur laptop.

Thanks for telling me about dual graphics and if you have the processor's card AND another gfx card in your laptop.

nope, they use the 6520g when you are not doing intensive task or when you are on battery to conserve electricity, and then switch to the 6750m when you are gaming/etc
I would go with the 6750, it's an actually decent card.

I believe Bestbuy carries that HP laptop. Or at least one of the Llano APU versions. I would just go to Bestbuy and get a feel for the laptop. I checked it out and I really did not like the feel of it, but that's just my opinion.

Yes, it is dual graphics, but it's the 6755g2 if it has 6750m. However, it has adverse effects on performance in most games, which seems to be a driver issue. You can also have it switchable. http/www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a8-3500m-llano-apu,2959-6.html

Thanks, I knew it was 2 different cards (one cpu one discrete card) but hp kept saying there was only one card so I had to be sure. But even if dual doesn't do much the 6750 will be good enough for me because I only play WOW and Starcraft II.
