Those zip packages contain the video BIOS for those said graphcis cards. To the end user, these mean absolutely nothing though. To people with non-standard resolutions and refresh rates, these also mean nothing (Intel releases the vbios to the end user, but retardly don't release the tool to customize the vbios...)
But if your curious, you could flash this with your main system bios to update the vbios on your system and get better performance possibly. The 950GMA also has the vbios package, but its included only in the XP driver and its latest is 1585. It doesn't work on my 1280x800 resolution, and only has a max of 1024x768 for me (30% of my screen is black, even in post). I tried flashing the 965 vbios to my system but it resulted in a black screen on startup (which kinda scared me because I knew nothing about bios recovery). The vbios may unlock things however that are awesome, such as the ability to make a mobile 950GMA a desktop 950gma, and maybe even end up having higher clock speeds and performance. However, I think the vbios also checks the device id, and in that case, you would have to modify your DSDT to make the 950gma appear as another card, such as that from a desktop. So the vbios would be a great thing to mess with, but you better have recovery options available before hand (Crysis recovery disk, dual bios, extra flash chip with stock bios on it, etc) On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 1:50 PM, hussam aulaian <[email protected]> wrote: > @Espi : man i found 4 .zip files with the folowing names > in the main folder of the 4 series driver > > vbios_g4x.zip > vbios_gm4x.zip > vbios_hd.zip > vbios_hdm.zip > > i think thats why it BSOD when we install the 4 series driver most probably > > and if u want to check them out i hav attached them with this message > > but u hav to rename them from .haze to .zip damn google didnt allow me cuz > one of them contains .exe > > -- > 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS > -- Espionage724 Has A Signature... -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
