Save $$$$ but take your own risk!
My friend give me the folllowing info for upgrade 9800SE to 9800PRO!!
**************************************************
Power Color (~only) RADEON 9800SE 128MB video card model ( R98SE-C3 ) was based entirely on the RADEON 9800 PRO ( XF98-C3L ) design, there is NO difference betweeen the chipset , memory , resistors, the pin out, etc are identical except that the pipelines as below
Radeon 9800PRO 8 pixel pipelines
Radeon 9800SE 4 pixel pipelines
The RADEON 9800SE video card it can be unlock from 4 pipelines to 8 pipelines as follow
The step to change the 4 pixel pipelines to 8 pixel pipelines for Radeon 9800 SE r98xe-c3 (128MB 256 bits)?
1) Download the Omega drivers 2.5.22 from omega homepage http://www.omegacorner.com/index_ati.html
2) When you start install the driver, you should pick the option "Soft-Mod 9800SE Omega Driver 9800SE -> 9800 NP/Pro/XT".
3) Actually, it is already unlock the other 4 pipelines when the driver finish installed. However, you cannot really tell from video properties. You should download riva tuner software http://download.guru3d.com/rivatuner/
4) After installed the riva tuner, you can see the 4 pipelines are already unlocked. (You need to responsible for your own risk!)

I heard that Power Color is the only manufacturer who has this special 9800SE video card. But some other guys said Sapphire one is working too....
Good luck pal!
