    Hi. I bought a new Acer laptop and I would get a better performance from my current graphics card( unlock 8 hidden pipelines and texturing units). Then the performance should be wery near of the from the 8700M GT(so the theory). Has anyone an idea how to make it done?I have Acer Aspire 7520G. System properties:AMD Turion X2 TL58 Dual Core (2x 1.9Ghz), 17" CrystalBrite WXGA+, 2048MB, 320GB, GeForce 8600M-GS 1280MB TurboCache™,

    This was done a while ago to an older ati 9800 mobile card in a dell xps. I have never heard this being done to a nvidia card though.
