Thanks, I've downloaded it. I will try to burn and flash it tomorrow.

Is it really safe to load a 7900 GTX bios to a Quadro FX 2500 card? Also, I'm wondering if your benchmark improvement is due to you setting lower quality settings in the driver. The driver in the M90 does not have performance settings...

Zyb, Thanks for answering that, I might give it a try then and install it instead of selling the drive. I think my M90 setup should be OK for performance. I wasn't after copying movies, I was referring to backing up my own private...

So I'm sitting here with a sealed _internal_Sony blu-ray drive and an external enclosure. On my M90, can anyone tell me if I'll be able to (a) backup private HD videos and/or data to a blu-ray disk, (b) watch blu-ray movies on the laptop...

That is completely untrue for some games. See the review over at ExtremeTech. They had 67 vs 53 FPS in Flight Simulator 2004--I definitely can see a big difference in Flight Simulator X. For video encoding it was 218 seconds Merom vs....

See my tests for exactly the same upgrade (T2500->T7600) in the thread "About to upgrade". I did some more tests yesterday and the machine is definitely substantially faster. There are some floating point tests on Extreme...

OK, guys, couldn't wait until fancy thermal paste arrives so went ahead and put a cheap one. Here are some first benchmarks with the Quadro FX 2500 overclocked to 591 core/771 memory--these are in fact the original recommended...
