    Hi all, I have a very strong need

    I am in the process of upgrading mxm graphic card in my laptop. Plan to upgrade a romless toshiba card in acer. Its Nvidia GT 230m
    I know there is a possible solution to integrate vbios into sbios as user called valuxin did it in his acer aspire 7738 using HP card.
    As it was in acer bios there is a chance it could work in mine too.
    I wanna try it

    All I need is a proper ACER Vbios for a graphic card:

    Nvidia GT 230m 1GB GDDR3 mxm-2

    Codename N10P-GE
    Architecture GT2xx
    Pipelines 48 - unified
    Core Speed * 500 MHz
    Shader Speed * 1100 MHz
    Memory Speed * 800 MHz
    Memory Bus Width 128 Bit
    Memory Type GDDR3
    Max. Amount of Memory 1024 MB
    Shared Memory no
    DirectX DirectX 10.1, Shader 4.1
    Power Consumption 23 Watt
    technology 40 nm

    It s been mounted in acer aspire 7738G, 4741G and 7720G i guess
    I was looking for it in techpowerup page but there is none, and also i google it for a long time but i cannot find.

    If anyone have and would be so kind to send me I would be very gratefull.
    Thank you

    There you go: http://rghost.net/50082767 . Extracted from toshiba satellite A500-17X bios. I'd go for the romless hd 4650 though since they can be found for about the same price. Heat output is an issue, but it is manageable.
