How do I unlock/vonvert a 6200 in vista?

[Lucky]

? Rivertuner works in xp, but not vista, even in compatibility mode apparently. Anything that I could use in vista to unlock the pipes in my 6200?

Flash the bios, then it will always be unlocked

Sorry...can you give me more descriptive help? Flash the card with what bios, and from where? With what uitlity?

i'm in vista 64 home premium, if it matters.

I doubt you'll be able to flash it unless it's an extremely old 6200 based on the 6600 core.

Only the very first ones were, and then they moved to a native core (NV44 iirc?).

The board is able to be converted based on very recent comments on newegg, however that is through rivatuner which can't be run on vista.

Anyone?

Heres a link to most of the nvidia bios files and i'm sure they have guides on the same site so you can flash the bios. Good luck

I read it will not work with 64 bit windows vista just the 32 bit version of vista

Link?

I would be amazed if it really is, as i said, only the very early ones were, and that was because they were made on the 6600 core, once they had the native 6200 core up and running it made no sense to use a more expensive core...

link to said comments?

i suppose they could have gone back to masking 6600 cores if they've stopped making the 6200 ones, but that doesn't make any sense to me...

Can you find out the core version, because that will tell you instantly if you can or not (in fact, it should show as you powerup)?
