1.alienware/dell are known for locking there bios's down to prevent any-kind of upgrading there is a very good chance that even if you source the correct type of card it won't work
2. the cpu/ram in your laptop is too slow to leverage upgrading to a 4650 you would be wasting it in fact I would say most of your issue is cpu related as tera doesn't need shit for gpu power as its a old dx9 based engine
3. there is a good chance that any card you install especially the HP ones will burn the motherboard outdue to current-overdraw early

>Just looked a bit on ebay.com right now and there are several MXM III-class 4850/4870 cards.
Yes but they are HE, but it's OK if will be run on Power Wall?, but on Battery I ques it would drain fast, is that right?

its not fud its reality very rarely does swapping a mxm card work ESPECIALLY WITH DELL the only exception are custom ordered machinesTell me, how many Alienware M5790/Fujitsu Amilo Xi 15xx have you personally repaired?
Or is posting FUD your main hobby here?

secondly its not gonna do him any real good hes got 1600mhz early core 2 duo
it is very common for laptop vendors to lockout the bios 15h callback to prevent 3d party modification to either the vbios rom or the video mxm its self the only way around it is a modified bios
I realize its not what he wants to hear but he is wasting his time multiple people have told him the same thing on multipl forums

the guy has been asking about this for MONTHS he keeps coming back after being tould NO

number 3> tells me you aren't qualified to give advice or question anybody elses now away with ye modern os's skip bios's that made me lol somebody doesn't understand how/what UEFI fastboot is and that fact that his laptop doesn't even have UEFI and while flashing a patched bios for that laptop is possible as far as I can tell there is no prepatched bios in existence1) You post FUD. Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Sure, some Dell/Alienware might do a CRC on VBIOS from own BIOS. But, this precise model doesn't.
2) T7200 is pretty good dual-core CPU. Thats not i7 or i5 of Sandybridge and up, but the performance is still very sufficient.
3) I don't understand what do you mean with "15h callback". Most of modern OS skip BIOS altogether. So, why not flash/crack the "DRM" out of the original BIOS? So that BIOS just inits VGA and gives control to the OS alright. Still, this is not related to this thread, at all.
4) I am okay that he asks questions. People are.. different. At least he has opened a dedicated topic and posts in-line with it.
5) In the thread you linked to, he wasn't given exact compatible cards and no one there had his notebook model. Now, just look at post number #7 in this thread.

and frankly I don't give a crap you wanna try and talk this guy though installing a mxm card and flashing a untested patched bios you are free todo so I don't wanna see a thread about how his system will no longer boot afterward

you don't know what you are talking about I am done with this thread good luck you are gonna need itHow is UEFI related at all? UEFI doesn't use any BIOS/DOS interrupts, its purpose is solely to init basic things and chainload the payload. Yes, this laptop does not have UEFI, but frankly UEFI is Intel's piece of shi-. Instead finishing LinuxBIOS, that is currenly empowering ChromeOS and was relabeled as CoreBoot, Intel decided to slide in bed with M$ and create another poorly documented proprietary abomination that is hardly usable for anything except secureboot aka M$ WGA v2, that does nothing except locking out user from his machine.
Yes modern OS skip BIOS routines altogether. Kernel loads a portion of code, that checks CPU, hardware memory mapping capabilities, configures memory, then loads full kernel, that starts hardware enumeration and loads drivers (FS, disk access), that access files to load further drivers for detected hardware. This is the reason for LinuxBIOS to appear in first place - BIOS basically does the same thing that modern kernels do, so why not skip it altogether - get basic local hardware up, just enough to access the payload (the kernel) and then proceed loading it. Its much more flexible and faster this way.
I repeat, this model has zero hardware DRM, that you try to FUD and derail the thread. He has nothing to reflash and there is no DRM in BIOS.
The fact is - my Fujitsu Amilo Xi 1554, that is physically same with M5790, was reflashed with Alienware BIOS 1.19, has an mxm 4650 card from Acer - runs FINE. Where did your DRM suddenly go? With burnt x1900 the laptop is worth 150$, with replaced card this laptop is worth 500$, card price is 100$. Even if the CPU proves to be not fit for his task, its worth more when repaired - and repair is very easy.

I am not even sure, why you try to explain something I never asked, but never mind...I am not sure how to explain this to you without being a ass so I won't go though the effort of being nice
They are NOT. They are completely different thing!CoreBoot/linuxbios/UEFI are ALL EXTENSIONS to the BIOS
BIOS core role is to wake up CPU by writing magic numbers, read firmware to access disks/network, load a few bytes from them linearly into RAM, set CPU IP register there and die.the bios's core role outside of bootstrapping the MBR/bootloader kernel,providing a configuration interface or whatever is to initialize the CORE hardware(cpu clock base memory addresses ,chipset timing ect ect ala ect
Linux kernel (or any more-less concious kernel) is capable of shutting down CPUs/Cores on demand, or even operate on partially damaged CPU by shutting down its individual cores.you can Not skip it how are you gonna execute any code or load any kernel or do any kind of hardware probing if the cpu isn't even turned "on"(thats a single 16bit register)
Whats the purpose to init them? Why 640k or 1024k, whats the difference? Do you still have 386 with XMS?or if the first 640K or 1024mb of base memory+ aren't even initialized yet
I object your "useful stuff".its not a entirely different matter if you are indeed running coreboot but the process is still the same the "linux" payload of coreboot/linuxbios is executed AFTER the core bios routine completes essentially its just a embedded option-rom containing a Linux kernel or some bootstrap layer and the "linux-kernel" its self has no part in actually booting the system to a state where you can do useful stuff such as executing a boot-loader
Which exact "chipset/mainboard" specific custom code do you mean?or even loading aforementioned kernel all that is handled WAYYY earlier by chip-set/main-board specific custom code booting any-kind of kernel even a limited one comes WAYyy later in the process long after the very very basics are up and running there is absolutely no way to skip that from a cold boot (warm boot is another matter)
ACPI and SMBIOS are data. You don't need to initialize them. Kernel parses them and they can also be omitted entirely, they are not vital ("very basics"), because modern kernels poll the buses for IDs and load the corresponding drivers anyway.UEFI is a bit different in the way it handles the switch between bootservices and runtime services and then to the OS
but before all of that you still need to initialize the very basics ACPI, SMBIOS ect ect
Point me exactly - where I wrote that (UEFI//Coreboot/LinuxBIOS) are "linux kernel nor anything CLOSE to a kernel as you know it". UEFI shell is one of the payloads. Didn't I wrote that UEFI/LinuxBIOS motivation over BIOS was to skip all the routines, which are not necessary anymore for modern kernels, and instead init basic hardware and start the payload directly?it how ever is NOT a linux kernel nor anything CLOSE to a kernel as you know it all that bit of code does is get things rolling for the RUNTIME services witch would be what you called a "linux kernel" to get loaded witch then in-turned is handed off to a full kernel such as windows or linux or bsd or what have you
but before all that you still need todo a BIOS(firmware) init (uefi shell isn't really a shell but a really crude environment for executing EFL's witch contain the bootloader and runtime services before things get handed off to the kernel (fastboot basicly saves and restores from RUNTIME you still need todo a firmware init(bios) when cold
For what reason did you link the seabios source?witch contain the real kernel/HAL you speak of as well as all the needed bits to get everything fully setup in preparation as for the vga callback the quickest way to explain it so to show you the code
http://code.coreboot.org/p/seabios/source/tree/master/src/vgahooks.c
Go ahead, find me a machine with 9800M (or similar performance), 17 inch fullhd display, hardware raid (or at least 2 sata jbod), similar connectivity - under 500.that and another note I am not sure why you think the machine would be worth 500.00 it be more like 200 you can buy laptops with 8600GT's or 9800M' for that s and 2.66 core i5 and whatever dedicate graphics for 300.00
good luck to the both of you have fun fumbling in the dark

Hello to all from Greece.
I found this forum as i was searching infos for my laptop.
I own a Fujitsu Siemens Xi 1526 and as i read, is the same as Alienware M5790.
My problem is, that my GPU has a problem (Nvidia Go7600M), so i have to replace it.
The thing is, that i don't know what to choose.
As a cheap solution, i decide to buy the below GeForce 9650M.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wholesale-ASUS-NVidia-GeForce-9650M-GT-1GB-MXM-II-VGA-Card-G96-650-C1-C616MP2-/200990146462?pt=FR_GH_Informatique_Composants_Cartes_Vidéo&hash=item2ecbf23f9e
Is it a compatible VGA or should i choose something else?
If you have any other suggestions, i would like you to know that i prefer a not used card and not very expensive.
Waiting for your replys...
Thats it. Mine was from Acer and is reported as "widely compatible", because its MXM standard, physically in layout and in BIOS."
So better look for Acer, there is a reason why they are more expensive...
Thank you for your answer.
What about this one? Will i have problems with this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-HD-457...41098720?pt=AU_Components&hash=item27bb0087e0
One last question, is it better to buy this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-HD-457...41099348?pt=AU_Components&hash=item27bb008a54
because of the DDR3 memory and the holes that are ready for screws?
Sorry for to many questions...
