"granted" meaning that IF it worked. And sorry, didn't mean to type x1600 meant x1400.

Perhaps Award would be interested in modding the bios, they were willing to mod my desktop bios to include some overclocking features, for a price.

Bringing up an old thread...

Well I have an I6000D, and my brother just bought a 1505. If someone is still up for it I can get you the files you need.

you can make rom files with the FlashBios tool dell gives to update, just dl it, browse to it with command prompt and run it with the -writeromfile command. Like in my case i dled i6000a09.exe. i would do 'i6000a09 -writeromfile' and boom, rom dumped. You can get an hdr file with this also. just use -writehdrfile. Heres a link to what i dumped off of my I6000, someone see if this is right type of bios.

So, waterman or anyone with e1505 could do this, then we got them both.

Hopefully this sparks some interest

Was a member here some time ago but lost my account. Just saw this thread and think this idea is amazing. If anyone has any updates on this topic it would be greatly appreciated by myself and many other people.

ya, i don't think it will happen, i think with enough work it could but i dont think there enough i6000d owners out there who have the technical expertise to do all the work that needs to be done. but if someone does, it would be awesome, but i think i will have my trusty 6k replaced soon so i wont be able to take advantage

still a worthy cause

yeah, doesn't seem like much is done on the topic. If it could work it would be so great, just the boost i need for my 6000d. I know it wouldn't be that huge of a change from a x300, but at least it's a newer generation, being a x1000 version and all.

Earlier someone mentioned a reward. I think it's time for me to anti up. I will give anyone who can prove that they got it to work, along with all the instructions and bios what not needed to do it, $50 bucks. And another $50 once I get mine to work. That might not seem like a lot, but if anyone else is willing to start a pool, i bet it can add up fast. I'm not saying everyone has to anti up what I suggested, do what you feel like is right.

If it's possible, I want to see it happen.

I'm a new member on this forum, but I've been following this thread for awhile. I'd like to try editing the BIOS myself. Can someone get me the file from an I6400?

i swear ive heard of a I6000D that used a X300 with HyperMemory, though i think its pretty rare. that could provide some insight, as that would already have HyperMemory support built into the BIOS. In fact, its possible that it would accept the X1400 without any problems.

either way, the biggest problem at the moment is that all the links to the BIOS dumps are dead, preventing anyone new from trying their hand at this. if someone could get those BIOS dump files back up, perhaps someone else could try?

heck, i know nothing of BIOS editing, but i wouldnt rule out trying it someday. it seems to me this is quite do-able based on what a dell engineer (supposedly) said (namely, that all the 6000D needs is the BIOS info for HyperMemory support). Or, if it was possible to disable HyperMemory on the X1400, that would probably work too.

Heh, I remember this thread. Like a lot of other people, I have moved on to the Inspiron 6400 (current laptop) and have looked past ever getting a video card upgrade on the I6000.
