Aspire 7720G major upgrade

[ttomorad]

1. Just download the drivers and INF file and you're good to go, nothing else is needed.
2. Didn't change the AC adapter, everything standard there.
3. I used standard thermal cooling, applied Arctic Cooling MX-3 and that's about it. My old 8400M GS and the new 9600M GT are about the same temp under load so I wasn't worried about that.

Keep in mind; if you're choosing between GDDR2 and GDDR3, there is a BIG difference in speed.

thanks for the reply, I know DDR3 is better, first met with them back to the time 7300gtddr3 GeForce desktop
much better than DDR2
just waiting for confirmation of data presented at the auction ...
I hope that the data on the graphics card will be true
greetings!

Today I got a little more information of the card to say:
Graphics card came from Zepto notebook model A15 or G15 or G14 (the seller is not sure) a description of the bones of graphics memory:
SAMSUNG K4J1032400-HC12 (looking a touch on them to make sure that this is a ddr3 but with no positive result: /)
It looks like this: GRAFIKA GForce 9600GT 512MB DDR3 G96-630-A1 MXM II (1329942438) - Aukcje internetowe Allegro
If someone is able to check the memory chip graphics card please help
the seller wrote that she was tested in the Acer Aspire 8930 and acted
but somehow I did not really want to believe in it: /
Price graphics card in euros is ~ 90
Do you think that this model will work without problems with compatibility?

It looks like it is DDR3 this time- 8930G had the same memory chips on GPU and it was DDR3.
I found its model number VG.9PG06.002 in a service manual for TravelMate 7720/7730G and it's listed as "MSI VGA Card nVidia NB9P-GS DDRIII 512M 800MHz 32*32 MXM II" so as long as the seller is not lying about the part number it's OK.

According to what you write is not a GT but the GS, is there a big difference between them in performance? assuming that both have been using DDR3?
I found just such a comparison but without specifying what kind of memory cards were tested:

Nope- 9600M GT is NB9P-GS while 9600M GS is NB9P-GE. It's on the website you've linked to. Besides you can see G96-630-a1 written on the core so it's a 9600M GT all right.

Hey guys, I keep having a recurring problem with my acer 7720 (bios v1.45).
I've upgraded the videocard to 9650m GT and the CPU to t9300 but memory is still at 2gb. So far no problem, but ever since I started using Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bits) my acer freezes but no BSOD. At random it totally freezes up and I'm left with the only option of pressing the power button to turn it off.
Anyway so i did some memory tests (memtest) and no problem. I've checked the state of my HD by reading out the SMART function and also no problem.
After checking my event viewer i keep having this error:
"Kernel-Processor-Power eventID 35"
That comes with this description:
"Performance power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."

So does anybody has an idea if these problems are connected and how i can solve them?

First, what display driver version are you using?

[KKaras]

Ever since I'm using win7, I used the drivers form the nvidia site (v260.99).
Should I get some custom drivers from laptop2go?

Try 257.21 with modified INF from laptopvideo2go and try them out for a few days, then let me know how it works for you.
