Upgrading a GPU--software aspects..

Hi all~~

I've examined (a bit in pictures, actually) about how I'd be able to fit an MXM-II card in my Extensa (which has an MXM-I 9300M GS--TehSuigi, I think I could confirm this)

So it might fit. It has a little bit allowance in the side near the VGA port that might just allow an MXM-II card in there. If you guys could help me confirm, I'd post a picture or two.

I just have a question. Few months back I tried flashing the vBIOS to have the card OC'd, since it seems to be BIOS-locked. Using nvflash it gave me an error that says some ID (I think it's Device ID) has a mismatch, so I just forced it back then. Although I know this would mean the vBIOS is integrated with the system BIOS, which would be the case if the GPU is integrated into the mainboard (which, as I've said, I've confirmed to not be the case, since I do have MXM in my service manual here). So if this is the case, would it be a simple case of uninstalling the drivers, pulling out the old GPU, putting in the new one and installing drivers? Or do I have to flash vBIOSes of the cards?

 

Nothing? I'm really confused with the vBIOS/BIOS thing...a little help?
