I was wondering if the integrated 9400M while running near peak performance would put out more heat than the discrete 9600M GT would doing the same task? Apple claims better performance at the loss of battery & vis-versa between the 2 chips but doesn't mention anything about heat. The reason I'm curious is because while playing a game with energy saver set to the integrated, my book seems to run hotter than it would if I set it to the discrete.

P.S. It's not a very system taxing game like CoD4 or anything that I play with the integrated; just games like Zoo Tycoon 2, MoH, Legion Arena, etc. all PPC era based games patched 2 UB.
