Replace i5 with i7, will this have an effect on Optimus?

 

Hi,

I'm hoping to replace the i5 CPU from my laptop (L401X) with an i7 which
doesn't feature an integrated GPU. Will doing this in a sense disable
Optimus (if Intel GPU doesn't exist push everything through the nVidia
chip), or will this cause more headaches than it's worth. If anyone else
has taken a similar route with their Optimus powered laptop I'd be very
interested in hearing your experiences.

Thanks,

- Josh
