    Has anyone successfully flashed their 3700m as a 280m?

    This applies to d901c users. I've search all the threads and have read that people have done it, but no one explained how they did it.

    Any success stories here? If so, how did you do it?

    Thanks!

    Yes. I do it a lot. The only cards that work are HP with a BIOS sticker ending in .10. Its what AlanComputech has at the moment.

    It's 65 nm, correct? Does this cause significant overheating? I guess I should ask is flashing the 3700m worth the money I would save as opposed to purchasing a 280m?

    Thank you for your reply!

    Got your email, btw
