Mobility 7500/9000 => Mobility FireGL 7800/9000

~~excelsio~~ · May 7, 2003, 10:34 AM

As you probably know IBM uses a Mobility Fire GL 9000 in his ThinkPad T40p and a Mobility Fire GL 7800 in his ThinkPad A31p .

Is there a possibility to softmod a normal Mobility 7500/9000 to become a FireGL ?

thanks

i wonder if you could stick the fire chip in an 9000 slot - atis website says all their chips are the same pin number, the only question is where do you get a fire chip - dell parts maybe?

if they offer the fire an any dell...
they do hav a workstaion line

I thinks that the chips are permanently mounted on the mainbaord.
The second problem is that you´d needa new bios ....i

Hi,

You were banned because you entered the 9800 Pro compo with a postcount < 10.

So many peeps were doing this we just started banning accounts - saves long term hassle.
If you wish to unban that account then contact me.
