nope (well it doesnt work in 9300/xps2 but it does fit with modding)...you can read a 40 page or so post about ppl still trying to put the 7900 into the XPS2/M170 if thats how you get your jollies...

Any places in chicago will install the 7800 GTX Go into my 9300? Is it even worth doing?

I have two questions, I've looked all throughout the forums and I can't find a straight answer. First, where does the Quadro 1500m fit? I've heard it's identical to the 7900GS, but I can't find a place that proves someone's experience.

Question number two, everyone keeps talking about "flashing the video card's BIOS". How is this possible? Is there any instructions out there?

would it be possible with flashing or changing the PCI ID of the Go 7800 into the GTX to get the Inspiron 9300/XPS Gen 2 working properly?

bios support for the card...and while you may think "hey, the 9300 has a hacked bios that allows for more video cards", from what I think, the flashing utility is what was dissasembled to allow the xps2 bios to be flashed to the 9300...so the bios wasnt actually tampered with and using this method to flash a m1710 bios to a m170 just wouldnt be a good idea due to many hardware changes such as different HD's and connectors...keep in mind though that I've never performed a dell bios update since my machine has always been xps2 A05

Its not 100% accurate...plus alot of good threads around here dont get the stick...there's probably at least 10-15 more threads worthy of a stick but then the forums would look kinda sloppy I suppose

Unfortunately, it isn't, and does not even summarize the thread let along other info.
