    Hi everyone,
    I got a laptop with 8400M GS sometime ago. To put it short, I thought that is it possible to mod the card so that its memory can run at 128-bit bandwidth insead of the pianful 64-bit?
    I didnt just dream of this idea, after looking up the Nvidia website, i found that the 8400M GT uses 128-bit. and all the 8400M series useses the SAME core, so I thoght this may be possible. :confused:

    As i currently cannot switch on any special effects or run into smoke screen in COD4 (at 1280x1024 res), or else my FPS will drop from 50 to 19 :( ...which I thought is caused by the low memory bandwidth. :confused:

    Is this idea possibel??? Thank a lot :) :) :)
