    I was wondering if I could download the start up sound for the Lamborghini VX2's. I love that sound and I'm a car fanatic. Please someone tell me I can!!

    Yes, it would be really cool to have. I'm not sure if its possible to get though.

    The Ferrari startup sound from the Acer Ferrari models would be just as good too.

    I think it's part of the BIOS, so you'd need to have a VX2, V1S or VX2S to get it to work.

    it doesn't, but as the motherboard & graphics card are the same, you could most likely flash a V1S with a VX2S BIOS and there you go! :)

    I do NOT recommend flashing a V1S with a VX2S BIOS, or any BIOS that is not specifically released for it. You have a very good chance of ruining your computer.

    Please, do not do that.

    Edit: even if almost all the components are the same (motherboard, GPU etc.) which is not entirely certain anyway especially for the motherboard -- even if just one component is different, requiring a different way of interfacing with it via the BIOS -- the computer can easily become unusable.

    let him try, so we will know :p

    No, seriously, its not a good idea to flash a wrong BIOS on a Notebook. Especially because it will be really hard to undo it.
