The Macbook Pro has two graphics cards, one which is built in and another one that is more powerful.
I installed XP Pro using bootcamp. Which graphics card is XP using, and how can I switch the graphics card that XP uses?

To switch your graphical card, go to Energy Preferences and select the other "profile" on the top. It's counter-intuitive, I know. To see your graphical card on Windows, as people already pointed, you have two options: press [Win Key] + [R] and type either "dxdiag" or "devmgmt.msc" and look for the "Display". I believe there's no way to switch card in Windows, tho. I've read it will always use the only most powerful one. Which makes some sense - why else would you run Windows on Bootcamp if not for playing games? | |||

Look in the Device Manager in XP, under Display Adapters. It'll show you which one it's using. As for switching, I have no idea. Not sure Boot Camp can do that. I also don't think XP would support switching a graphics card while it was running. You'd most likely have to reboot. | |||

Start > Run... > dxdiag > System and Display tab You should get a wealth of information on which graphics card XP is using. | |||
