    well, there are not many reasons to flash a vbios in this manner, and i'm sure i wouldn't risk bricking a machine for the chance to do it either.

    You won't find a vbios here, we give advice and support for users, I had a look about the web for you but it seems no-one has done this before that i can see.

    You also would need a very specific vbios or the card will not be recognised properly when you reboot.

    It's a high risk decision to want to change your card, the FX3700M does have different components compared to the 9800M, and I very much doubt anyone here will have a compatible vbios for you.

    So I hope you get what you're looking for, but not likely to happen i'm afraid.

    However...

    You CAN modify the Driver to make it think it's a 9800M GTX - you just do the opposite of this guide: Softmod your Geforce GPU to a Quadro one

    The thread for the guide, which will give you more information is here: Geforce to Quadro SoftMod It's only a small boost to performance, but you might be lucky.

    And select the correct driver for the 9800M GTX.

    This will give you maybe 5-10% better performance in games over the quadro drivers.
