    Hello Everybody

    I have an M17x R2, and I want to fit a GTX 470M. It works, but it's an engineering sample, and it shows a message at boot, and when comes out of standby.
    Clevo 470M would be fine, or any other.
    There is a vbios at techinferno, but you have to pay to download it, and my paypal has problems right now :(
    Could anyone please make a backup of a 470M bios and upload it? Would help me a lot.

    Thanks

    While the gesture is certainly appreciated, that is not a stock vBIOS. That vBIOS has been modded by svl7 and we do not permit redistribution of his mods for others to download from an alternative location. I deleted the link. Anyone else that needs it can get it from the same place you did.

    You didn't actually purchase the vBIOS. You may have made a free-will contribution to become an Elite Member with early download privileges, but that does not include the privilege of public redistribution of intellectual property. This would apply to any of their downloads that are not available to the general public.

    Thanks in advance for understanding.
