Need alienware m5550 bios v2.06

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
I'm needing the alienware m5550 bios v2.06 for an 8600gs video card upgrade. The laptop has the v2.07 bios now and I have the 4bit color issue. I have access to my hive for my m15x and my m9750 but not for the m5550 as it was bought used. You can email me at dsf3@charter.net if anyone has them or access to them.

No worries Dewman50, You may want to do a "Copper Mod" when installing the 8600GS. It works very well to keep the temps down. It's a small sheet of copper about 2mm thick and 2cm x 2cm wide. Also apply AS5 between the GPU chip and the copper sheet.

My m5550i is currently running very well with the 8600GS 512MB. Temps on idle are between 65 and 70 celcius which were similar to the 7600go that came with the machine.

I am hoping one of you kind folks could tell me if i would be able to upgrade the m5550 geforce go 6600 with geforce 8600m gt g84m 600 card? Im a bit confused with the MXM II and MXM III type. Is there somewhere on the card to tell what type it is? Mahalo for the help in advance..

Aloha

Best source of MXM info here: http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/
I think those cards are MXM II both.
