[akbisw]

Mainly Battlefield Heroes(Get like 100+ without trying). Which doesnt really need a GPU AT ALL LOL.
I also play
Battlefield Bad Company 2, on tv, Maxed(except shadow on medium, NO AA, 1xAF) at 1080p I get 28-38 frames, at 720p close to 60 frames Maxed.
Mafia II I get 30+ frames No lag at 1080p Maxed 2XAF NO AA
I also need to benchmark with Assassins Creed 2
Getting Black Ops tomorrow, so will let you know How that works

I wonder what will happend if I try to install your BIOS on my laptop

But really, I think this laptop can handle Quad. But as far as I have understood, the 'modified BIOS' only gives the extra options, which is OK but I'm now looking for one who can check microcodes or something. Because akbisw got his 45W CPU working, so hardware-related, it should be no problem to upgrade to a Quad Core CPU. But that BIOS thing is starting to me off...

IIRC you have an insyde bios and I have a pheonix bios, so flashing is likely a bad idea.

As for the CPU thing remember the dual core CPU is "45W" and mine is also "45W", mine has the potential to go MUCH higher when ocing, it is twice the silicon after all. I have 3 full power phases going to the CPU alone.

EDIT: BTW please note with my 6770 that more core voltage is higher than stock (1.1v vs 1.05v) so thats why my clocks are so much higher.

the acer 5739g have a pheonix bios, because when i thought the bios was corrupt i did looking up on google and there is big long theard on it about corrupt bios and acer laptops and the 5739g is in fact a pheonix bios, i will have to find the thread, it will take me a day or 2 day to find it.

Lol just boot the system up and go into the bios. Or even look at the first screen.

Guys, it is Pheonix..

tunay cleared it up real quick , i was just looking on google for it to, there has got to be a code in the bios to unlock the quad,

is the acer 7738g have 2 fans or 1? i am just wondering

[tuηay]

Well, to mod that BIOS isin't easy, and it is easier for them all for me to just get a new CPU.. But there is still something in BIOS, I belive

7738g also only have 1..

[Meaker]

It is a 0.5A 2.5W fan though lol.

That can be true I don't know I only looked for how many fan it had

Also, Meaker, do you think it is a good idea to 'upgrade' to 7738G fan? Maybe that can bring the tempratures even lower..

Also, for you who is intrested, there is something wrong with ACER's designers, I took the backdoor off and I have 10C lower on CPU. And I noticed that there is NO intake hole for the fan.. Poor thing.

[Meaker]

Make sure your fan is removable, if it is then I think it would fit.
