Ok first of all, I'm curious about my drivers. I installed the newest 4.12 Catalyst drivers(or so I think), yet when I got to my display>advanced properties it talks about some 6.14.(something) stuff. Is it supposed to say that? Also, are the Omega drivers better?

Another question, since i have a VIVO i know that I can unlock the extra 4 pipelines, and I want to know if its A. worth the risk, if B. my 300W power supply can take it, and C. if it will make my cards life shorter, and how short?

Thank you very much guys
 
I had no trouble what so ever! Just follow this great guide by the wonderful folks at PCStats. It worked for me using this BIOS on an ASUS X800pro VIVO. Just be sure to use the commands listed and BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR BIOS before you flash!!!

I used this BIOS file: X800 Pro VIVO 16P (AGP) 256 MB

Mostly because I knew that it would boot using the default clock speeds and not the PE speeds that can make your video unstable or unbootable.

Here's the link: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1633&page=2

And BTW, your power supply will not be taxed much more than it is now with the card already in it. I use the Antec Silencer4 also. Awesome cooler! And quiet too. I like that.

Hope this helps and let us know how it went.
