Indeed, i would love to see this thread really go somewhere - i would love to throw a nice cooler 7900GS or GTX in this bad boy, and really watch things fly.

An Update..

I've dissassembled the A05 Bios (XPS Gen 2) and I am comparing it to the A01/A02 versions of the most modern laptops (that run 7900GTX/Quadro). It looks like the video Bios is in there too. It ain't going to be easy, it ain't going to be pretty, but it ain't impossible. I'll keep plugging along..

Praying may help..

I'm sure the Dell Gods will hear your prayers, will they get off their butts and do anything is a completely different matter.

Me, I'm whoring myself (by servicing the wife) because I'd like to have one of those new Meron XPS laptops. When she passes out (yes I even pillow-talk her to sleep) I go back and study my disassembled BIOS(es). It's always good to have a PLAN B in case PLAN A doesn't pan out.

The things I do for a Dell..I hope I never catch the Apple Computer OCD Syndrome.

Ah! A Day of Labour..Help if you can.

It's Labour Day, and that means I'm going to Labour!

PLEASE POST PCI PROBE INFORMATION FOR 7800GTX & 7900GTX. Use one of those Live-CD's from Ubuntu.

I only have the 6800 Ultra in my XPS Gen 2, so I need a little help from the community. I'm still waiting for someone to come back and tell me if the heatsink is swappable from a 6800/7800GTX to the 7900GTX.

Come on and help out the effort. My wife's gone away for the long week-end and I'm free to hack. I have a dream to jack a Pentium 755 into my XPS (pin-mod to 2.67), swap in a 7900GTX, and get 4Gig of ram humming. The Dell Gods sure as heck will not answer this mortals prayer, so I must do it myself.

I have a 7800 GTX please tell me how to gather the PCI PROBE information and I will gladly post it when I get home and can work on my laptop.

And good luck on the M755 pin mod. I couldn't get mine to work, but if you can then

The 6800 and the 7800 are swappable. When I removed my 6800 ultra I compared them. The heatsinks can be swapped. I just don't know about the 7900 gtx and the 7800 gtx sorry.
