Hey my m8 has a 9800SE and he wants to upgrade it to a 9800PRO at leats but preferably a 9800XT, i told him bout the fact that it has only 4 pipelines enabled and the other 4 can be enabled and hes up for it, i know the easiest way to do it is to softmod it with omega drivers or summit like that but we tried it and it just made his system run very very slow.
So i had an idea about flashing the BIOS to a 9800 PRO or XT BIOS and wondered if it would enable the other 4 pipelines? i have flashed the BIOS on my fx5900XT with a 5950Ultra BIOS and it works fine so i know how to do it and the risks of it but if i did put a 9800 PRO or XT BIOS on there would it enable the other pipelines and would it work kool? there is extra coolign on the card already so no worries bout overheating or anything..
your help wud be appreciated!
