    Hello.
    1. I woud like to know if it's possible to upgrade the CPU from T7700 to T9500 in a M570RU motherboard Revision 4.2???
    Woud I need a BIOS upgrade, and if Yes - where coud I get it, because I can't find anything on my own, that's why I'm turning to you guys :)

    P.S. By the way:
    2. woud it be possible to upgrade the VGA from 8700M GT to 8800M GTX too, woud I neeed there only a BIOS upgrade or have the motherboard refurbished?
    3. Is there any way to check if it's already refurbished and ready for a 8800M GTX???

    Thank You wery much, with regards Janis from Latvia :)

    CPU upgrade is possible but would void your warranty. Which model do you have 5791/2/3? Some models need a mobo replace some do not.

    My laptop is an ORDI Enduro 7770BF 0, not a Sager :(
    But it doe's look the same and has the same technical parameters, but a different name, do to that I can't give an answer regarding the model number in comparison to Sager.

    But the motherboard is an M570RU Rev 4.2, 4GB RAM, 8700M GT, 17,1 inch display, the case has an orange thin line around it (as mentioned before, it does look the same, and has the same technical parameters)

    Can I somehow find out if there woud be a need for a BIOS upgrade or not, is there any software which coud help me out or something? :)
    And most important: Where can I get the new BIOS to upload? Because the reseller of my laptop "ORDI" does not provide me with any BIOS upgrades or whatsoewer :(

    Thanx guys :)
