Hello!
After browsing the web for G73SW information, this is one of the better places for VBIOS info and guides. (at least per Google...heh)
Registered to ask some questions and get more information!
Thanks,

Hello!
As I'm in the process of upgrading my G73SW, this site has loads of hits on graphics card vbios work, as well as G series specific stuff.
I registered to ask questions and generally browse around.
Thanks,

I'm kinda wondering this for myself...I've been researching all over the place without a seriously definite answer, but I've found claims of these cards working:
460M 1.5GB (alternate G73SW card if you don't have it already, as mine is the 1GB version)
560m 2GB (pulled from an ASUS G53S, no vbios needed, driver hassles)
660m 1GB (various models, vbios mod needed, driver hassles...but only guide is for JH/JW)
I'm looking at that 660m mod (because it fits within the power/heat specs of the 460/560), but it may also be possible to do higher 5x0/6x0 cards, or even 7x0 cards (though you probably start to run into heat issues, as well as needing a new power supply). svl7 has the pinned guide on the G73JW 660m mod in this subforum.
