Turning A FX5900 Into A FX5950 Ultra, Tool-Free

Posted by timothy on from the one-and-a-half-upmanship dept.

A reader writes "Some very interesting details coming from various tech sites such as ExplosiveLabs and 3DChips that shows it is possible to turn a GeForce FX5900 into a FX5950 Ultra (which is NVIDIA's top of the line video card chipset currently available) through simply using the FX5950 Ultra BIOS on the FX5900 video card."

    I agree.

    Unfortunately, since W is an outright COMMIE, I have to vote for him anyway. I think of it as voting for the only real politian in the race -- the others are all criminals and commies, not real politicans of any stripe.

    This is what America is reduced to.

    The SX was the same as the DX, but with the Math Coprocessor disabled (for one reason or another). You could then add a seperate Math Coprocessor chip which was just a DX with different pins. Once installed, the Math Coprocessor chip would disable the SX chip and take over as the CPU.

    Crazy, eh?

    Is this some new trolling group you are paying hommage to? If so, at least include a motto or some ascii art.

    Well done! The get-a-life troll COMBINED with the more-important-issues troll, and a homophobic remark to boot. I salute you, sir.

    PS - The apostrophe between "you" and "all" is unnecessary since you didn't leave any letters out. When contracting "you" and "all," it's typically accomplished by removing the "ou" like so: "y'all."

    See how I managed to get some grammar nazi nonsense into this thread? I will now go off into the sunset singing the Rawhide theme, replacing "rollin'" with "trollin'."
