I think I'm in the same boat here. I was thinking of fitting a Radeon 6970M into a 2009 iMac.
My questions are:
-Can I use a Windows Laptop (alienware etc) 6970M GPU card and reflow the firmware chip from an existing 6970m 1gb.
+Can I use a Windows Laptop (alienware etc) 6970M GPU card and reflow the firmware/EFI chip from an existing 6970m 1gb.
What are the model numbers of the Windows LapTop cards (e,g. 1GB & 2gb versions)?
What is the name of the GPU chipset used on the iMac 6970M? This is incase I were to have a new GPU chip reflowed to the existing video card i have.
