Has anyone done this?

I'm getting a new laptop so want to sell the 7800GTX, battery and psu and go back to the X300.

What order do I do the downgrade? ie bios flash etc

Thanks

Well I've put the old card in but can't flash back to the i9300 bios. The original rapidshare link doesn't work anymore and when I try a flashbios update the laptop won't let me as it's "running on an unsupported system"

Help!!!

Does anyone have the original ISO file?

Or a way around this mess?

1. search the original ATI drivers and perpare to install them (only prepare)

2. clean the lappy from the old drivers (i would take DriverCleanerPro) http://www.drivercleaner.net/

3. change the cards
4. start the lappy in VGA mode (i think its F8 button during startup)
5. change the BIOS


you want to sell your 7800GTX? i am searching for one, because mine is broken...
