9800NP-> Pro bios

[kinney]

Where can I find 9800Pro bios to update my Sapphire NP card?

Also, what is the difference between the bios?
Clock/voltages?

Athlon 1700+, Epox 8RDA (NForce2), Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 80GB 8MB cache, 2x256mb Crucial PC2100 in Dual DDR, Geforce 3, Audigy, Z560s, MX500

Why do you want a 9800 PRO bios? If the clock pushes the memory to hard it's not going to work anyway.

Just get an overclocking utility and see how high it'll go. A 9800 PRO bios won't offer you any benefits.

Radeon 9500 (modded to PRO w/8 pixel pipelines)

Pro bios allocate more voltage to the memory i think, not too sure...

I don't think so, what Cleeve is saying (I think), it's more cuz by the cheaper RAM used on the 9800NP, so that you can't clock it as high as the Pro version

ok, you can find stuff about flashing your video card here

But before you go, remember it DOES add voltage to your 9800np, so make SURE it can handle the 340mhz, then make sure you make a backup disk (explained in the text) so just in case you fudge your card up you can go back. I flashed my 9800 np from Sapphire, and the only aftereffect is i can't hit 200fsb on my barton 2500+, but it hits 2800+ just fine. GL and let us know how it works out
