    Hello!

    I`m planing to buy this beast for my Acer 5739G. As I know, this card is normally installed on Dell notebooks. Thus, can someone of users, that have this card with green PCB, post here high resolution photos of both sides of this card? Normaly, on 6770M with green PCB there is no ROM chip, but on the red and blue it is soldered on.

    Why I`m asking it - when I`ll buy this card without ROM chip, I want to solder it on the card. But firstly I have to know - does additional resistors and capacitators will be needed on the card.

    Thank you very much for advise.

    P.S. on the Acer 7738G is one user, that has bought M5950 (professional 6770M), but he has not soldered ROM chip on the card, he just added vBIOS to sBIOS.

    I've found the following file on the net. I don't actually know which one the rom chip is, but I'll make a guess that it's the painted IC to the bottom right. I hope others can provide more useful insight.

    Yes, on the right bottom it is a bios chip.
