On a whim, I tried contacting dell's spare parts department and they had both of them for $10.99 each! I was shocked! I thought they would be much more expensive. Thanks for everyone's help!

I'm working on a project and I need to find a replacement heatsink assembly for my CPU/GPU in case I totally screw them up. I've been searching around but have not come across a site that sells these. Can anyone point me in the...

I revisited changing the clocks in the bios after I installed Vista on my machine. Works great now running 635/535 with no issues whatsoever. I still think this card could do a lot better with more volts

No luck. NiBiTor shows max voltage at 1.2v which is what it runs at in 3D mode. Even changing the core/memory frequency caused the card to be buggy. Maybe someone with experience in doing bios mods could take a crack at it.

Never knew you could could do it yourself...Maybe I'll take a stab at this tonight if I'm not too busy at work...

Anyone seen or heard about a modified bios to increase the voltage on the 8600m gt? I remember there was a 7800/7900 modded bios I used in my inspiron 9400 to bump up the voltage for better overclockability and was wondering if anyone...

You could always get a bay module off ebay and use your dvd slot for a 2nd hard drive. I purchased mine off ebay from a seller named igameport. He has it listed as "2nd Hard Drive Adapter Caddy for Any Laptop IBM/DELL/HP"

Unless they made the slot loading drive proprietary, you should be able to slide it out and possibly put a modular drive bay in there to hold a hard drive. I did that with my M1210 and it works great!
