Hi!

I got an Acer Travelmate 292Lmi-M11. This Lappies clocks are 390/202 but I can easily clock it up to 492/270 without a single wrong pixel. However my problem is, that this TM does not support Powerplay. However the TM8000 does support that feature (gives you about half n hour more battery life). My Problem is, that the VGA bios are integrates into the Mainboard's Bios. So i wonder if on could get the VGA bios supporting Powerplay out of the TM8000 and the one not supporting the feature out of the Tm292 and compare them. maybe its just a hidden function or the tm8000 got a newer version of the bios integrated. so if its not the same bios one could try to enable the hidden features/change the bios in the 292 to look the same as the one in the 8000.
Can someone do that for me or tell me how to do it? I would appreciate that extra battery life a lot!

the newest bios for the tm292lmi:
