It just seems like nothing more than a form of ocing to 9800 Pro speeds.

Hi guys

Just a word of warning: be very careful before attempting anything like this. ATi frown up such practices, so flashing your BIOS, so I've been led to believe, immediately voids your warranty, which means if anything goes wrong (which it sadly can do quite easily) you're stuck. ATi also try to include basic protection measures in their driver packages, which may mean the next version of the Catalyst drivers require you to perform yet another flash of your card's BIOS. Just be careful.

Kind Regards

I found this so interesting, that I too had a look at overclockers to see if they had any 9800nps (MD didnt)....I was disappointed at the price tho....even tho its potentially good value with the o/c.

But Flownalk,....there is no mention of the memory type on overclockers....are you certain it is clockable ??
