I'm assuming you're oo Jack oo from NBF :) Copy paste from there: I have no real ETA, but it should be waaay less than a year. As to your second question: yes, it will void your guarantee, but the chance of actually frying your lappy is very small. The thermal budgets of both cards are comparable or at least they don't differ enough to warrant any fireworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice-Tea Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 In theory, no flashing of the Bios is required, as the video bios is on the MXM card. But there's no way of telling how the manufacurers handle this. They may have implemented a mechanism that disables upgrade :) even though I have have heard of no actuall occurances of that.
