    Alrighty, thanks to our good friend studio54@nbf, I now have on my harddrive a bios to a GF6 6400 TC bios, which is based on the exact same chip NV44m as the 6200 TC. The point here is that if you own a newer S or FS you could flash the bios on your system to get much better 3D performance at the risk of it not working and causing your system to not boot, and then you would need finding a PCIMCA videocard so that you can boot and reflash the orginal bios, I use my laptop for mission critical stuff at work so I can't take the risk, but if anyone else is willing just PM me.

    just for reference the following flashes have been proven to work in most cases.

    6200 non-TC > 6600 (GT?)
    6600 >(?) 6800
    x800 > x800xt
    9500 > 9700

    incase anyone care, the 6400 is know to perform about as well as an x600.
