9800pro question

[Darq Eternal]

My friend is gonna buy a 9800pro. Is there anything you can look for to get the right chipset (r360)? He wants to flash it to an XT. If anyone has a link to card that can be bought (new) online that would be cool also.

all msi 9800pros are r360 core. I heard they overclock very well. Thats what i would get

If you plan on Flashing to an XT, you'll probably be wanting to make sure of two things:
1.) the core is an R360
2.) the card has 256 megs of memory

128mb XT BIOSes are hard to come by and I'm not sure about how reliable it is

Otherwise, I would suggest simply modifying your Pro BIOS, increasing core and memory frequencies --
