Okay, so let me be sure I've got this straight.

It's not a simple hardware swap with drivers?

I've never heard of "go6600" or "crappy tappy", so I don't know how those terms apply to my questions.

Are you saying that a laptop's motherboard is installed with BIOS specific to the other hardware installed? That the Basic Internal Operating System of a laptop cannot adapt to a hardware upgrade without being replaced or upgraded itself?


That just seems like a gigantic headache for the assembly line - to have different motherboards for different videocards all in the same model number.
