    Hi to everyone. :hi2:

    I am Italian and this is my 1st Experience with a Barebone Notebook. ;D

    I bought from a previous owner one Clevo P170EM here: [ TN + SS ] SCAMBIO Clevo p170em con portatile 15" + conguaglio - Hardware Upgrade Forum

    I bought everything except CPU RAM and VGA.

    i would like to buy a 2920MX or 3630QM, 8/16GB RAM and a 7970M/8970M/GTX 680M.

    I contacted a famous english store for one HD8970M AMD HD 8970M 2GB for MSI 1762 16F4 Clevo P150EM P170EM m17x R5,m18x R3 | eBay

    but it asked me to flash the vbios, for having the vga's correct working...

    How can i flash vbios? I haven't another dedicated gpu.

    please help me :'( :(


    post scriptum: moreover the store's staff asked me info about the southbridge model. Now I haven't yet the clevo here.

    I would buy a 7970m as it wilk work out of the box and is the same chip. Just make sure it is a sager/clevo card NOT meant for the HM series of machines.
