Do you know where I can get one of those? ???
Do you have a picture? ???

When I got the job at the computer-service, the hot air gun was allready there; actualy my boss has it but he granted access to it for this mod. I will ask him about the price and I'll try to take a picture soon if this will help you.

Will there be any exact detail on how was the job done?
Info about needed modifications, by that I mosly mean details... like resistor placing, values, any other eventual element to be added/removed, any warning etc...
I'd guess I'm not the only member/visitor interested on getting the job done for own use, so I'd be glad seeing it posted here.

Comparing the 32MB screenies to 64MB versions for texture heavy games such as U.T. 2003 / U.T. 2004 Just a thought!
