I have read in other forums that you can put the 9800m GT BIOS on a 8800m GTX card on some systems. I want to do this because I am experiencing the yellow screen problem and dell did not release a fix for all cards. I have a dell xps m1730.

others have put 9800m GS into 15.4" laptops.
Is it greed? (more money for them) tricking the average person, who doesn't know much about computers? or seriously impossible... just wondering, b/c a macbook pro 15" with 9800M GS and 9400M hybrid power would really be one of the best notebooks out there. (considering the capability of running OS X and Windows and Linux (all legally of course)
I'm planning in upgrading my 1730M and found a card on ebay for a good price.
Now, the seller doesn't know if it's a 9800M GTX or GT ???
So, he mailed me some info but google doesn't tell me anything.

and

So I am seeing that you can purchase the M1730 with this card for $1699. This seems kinda cheap to me, definately waaay cheaper than the sli 8800gtx setup was

Has anyone made this upgrade to their M1730, or anyone have any insight into how stable it would run?

No mods or anything. And with up to 1.2.1 patch installed.
I may take them apart and do AS5 but I dont think it will make a difference. I took some pictures and I will post them in a bit but I am having problems. I was able to enable SLI and I ran 3DMark06 and I got 9937 so I went to overclock my video card and RivaTuner gave me some prompt that it has not been tested with my drivers and and would not run properly. Once in Rivatuner I noticed I am not able to overclock my vid card or anything. So I tried to reinstall rivatuner and nothing. Then I uninstalled my videocard 171.16 drivers and ran drivecleaner, reinstalled my drivers and same thing. I even tried the new 174.12 from laptopvideo2go and still nothing.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought a 8800m gtx card with part number xm888 for my m1730 to replace the 8700m sli card that came with it.
My question is whether my 8800m gtx card is sli or not. With the 8700m, when i check my display properties it tells me it has a total of 512mb memory, which makes sense since it is two 256mb cards. But when i do the same thing for the 8800m card it tells me i have 512mb video memory. Does this mean my card is single and not sli? Or is my card two 256mb cards?
Correct me if i am wrong, i read some old threads and people who got the same 8800m card with part number xm8800 said it was a sli card with 1gb memory. Physically, the 8800m i have looks exactly like the 8800m sli cards that have been displayed all over the forum.
I am also using the latest dell drivers.
there are so many people with a dead 8800m gtx. Mine died a week back. Technician came yesterday.. replaced motherboard to see if it made things alright..It didnt. Now they are telling me that I will have to wait another week for the replacement parts which (is supposed) to be arriving a week later from Malaysia. (BTW I am from India.) If anybody here would be to let me know if 8800m are actually being replaced or not (especially in Asia)?
I have read many posts in this forum with most people from the USA and few in Europe having their M1730 being replaced with AW m17x. Any idea on whats the scenario in Asia?
What should I expect from dell a week from now? Any chances that I could actually get a 8800m replacement as I was told?
If they tell me to wait for, say a week or two more, do I have any other option but to wait? I asked them to provide me a temporary laptop replacement till the issue was fixed, but they said they dont have such facilities.

All my systems in my sig have replaced GPU's in a less than a year.
Is this what I get for trying to get a performance GPU's?
Kind of ennoying because I hate the tech's to come to my place and rape my system - I'm not saying all techs do, but I only had one guy who was really careful w/ my system when he was replacing parts. Others just didn't give a damn, which even lead to replacing my M1330.
I caught him when some plastic part from mobo flew off my system, and when he closed the system up, the system refused to boot up lol.
my XPS gen 1 w/ ATI still runs okay at my mom's place.
I noticed the Sager 9261 needs a new motherboard to accomodate the 8800m gtx. Will the M1730 also need one you think?

Anybody else wondering why we haven't seen anything coming out with the 8800m Nvidia cards?
Alienware had their big product release 11/19/07 for their new laptops with the 8800m cards then they pulled the link from their website.
Dell, who usually has the newest stuff doesn't mention them.
The boutique vendors like Voodoo pc and Falcon-nw that pride themselves on offering the latest hardware don't offer them. No press reviews in the print.
I've seen one on line mini review of bench marks from a clevo type laptop with an 8800m video card and that is it.
I wonder if nvidia is having a harder time manufacturing the 8800 62 nM cards than they have admitted. It would explain why the standard 8800 video cards are hard to get as well
I got 10485 in 3D Mark 06 at 1920x1200 with my overclocked 8800m GTX SLI and with only a 2.4 Core2Duo, not bad at all
Crysis runs DX10 all options high at 1920x1200 an Average in the benchmark test of 43 fps avg
I just receive my new M1730 today and in the middle process of installation Vista on pair of 320GB HD.
What do you guys use to OC the 8800M SLI? What is the ideal clock setting?
Does Dell usually sned you 2 power supplys?
I did not order the extra PSU, but I received 2 of them and they are huge!
I just bought a new Dell M1730 with 4 gigs of ram and the Intel Core 2 X9000 processor.
It has the 8800m SLI video card(s) in it. I installed Everest and it consistently says that the GPU temperature is running around 160 degrees F. I am *not* doing anything other than surfing the web and haven't been. Is this normal? The harddrive and cpu temperatures both seem fine. They are 91F and 90F respectively. Any ideas why the GPU would be so high especially since I'm not really doing anything (playing games for instance) that would push it to it's limits? I did buy a notebook cooler but it isn't here yet. It's sitting on a flat surface with decent airflow.
I'm just a little concerned as I don't want it to burn up.
I have a Dell M1730 with 2x8800m GTX video cards and after trying drivers from a variety of sources,
I still haven't been able to get a solid 30+ fps in WoW (world of warcraft).
I did a clean install of Windows XP and started off with the drivers on Dell's website, which gave me roughly mid 20s fps in WoW.

The parent blog has a lot of announcements about the XPS line which so many of you are interested in. Good place to verify rumors or pick up new ones :-)
I'm another one of those waiting for an 8800M GTX (Dell PN XM888) replacement...
Replacement was initiated by Dell in early September, was told backorder until September 21. On September 21, backorder was pushed to October 5...
I've made a bit of noise and I'm at the "Consumer Escalation" level, but I know there's the "Executive Escalation" level as well. At this point, I've got a Service Call number for a system replacement, but it's showing no activity....
