    Hey guy's, I was wondering, do you guys think there is anyway to flash a Geforce GO 7200 Bios to let's say a 7300 Bios, kind of like the 7900 GS being flashed to a 7900 GTX bios.

    Methinks that if he tries it, he won't be reporting back, at least from the same machine. ;)

    As posted this is not possible.

    hahaha :p


    Nope, I wouldn't try it.

    You will probably mess up your laptop, its very rare to be able to successfully flash a laptop GPU bios with that of another one.

    I don't like to use the word "impossible" but people often make me do so...

    Alright, I knew it would be a really longshot, but hey I have heard people of flashing a 7900 GS, to a 7900 GTX bios, and then getting a 20-30% increase in performance.

    Oh sorry, it isn't the 7900 GTX, it is the 7900 GSX. And I know it's here somewhere, on the forums.
