    I'm new and need some help. I love my old Alienware area 51 m17x. Both my graphic cards (8800m) dumped on me last week, I have a 8700m the will work but it is a slave vbios only. I need to flash it to a master. I have done flashing before and need no help with it. The only thing I need is a 8700m master vbios. Does anyone have this vbios? I have checked everywhere and cannot find one. Does anyone still running one that can just use gpuz and save the .rom and send to me? Willing to pay for your time (not much lol !). Thanks in advance.

    We no longer have those available online unfortunately. Did you try posting this on the Legacy forum?
