Clock you memeory to 500MHz and see if the same thing is happening. If all is well clock up in steps of 5mhz.

Did u ever think about using the search feature? Anyway, it seems to me that most Sapphire ATI x800pro pcie vivo are indeed lasercut and after asking around a bit, only the vivo with 1.6 ns memory are not lasercut. Mine is and I couldn't try to hardmod it since I couldn't find all the proper...

Most Ram uses the setting on the spd. When you try to lower the latencies, you might not get the wanted results. Usually high end ram has latencies at the lowest without much to do. Generic ram is a case of luck. You might get some to work at lower latencies while others might not. However, I...

I suggest u get DDR 400 memory as well as better cooling. With my old P4 2.4 (533fsb) i got around 3300mhz when using a zalman 7000cu cooler. My current 2.4 (800fsb) i managed to do 3.6 (could go further) using zalman's resorator water cooler. Always keep in mind that you need good quality RAM...

I have the exact same card and w/o a hard mod most likely you won't be able to get the additional 4 pipes since the newer cards have a lasercut.

Guess i'll have to wait until someone will have the guts to do this. I for one dont :(

If you really want to dvd rip while playing some game, then the only real way to boost preformence is to have a duel cpu setup which is really really expensive. The good thing about winxp is that you can assign different cpu's different tasks. Then the 2 GB ram will really shine (especially if u...

So how did it go? Im itiching to know if it working on ur Samsung mobo....

My bad. I forgot im using xt bios with 2.0 ns memory timings. Too bad my card isn't xt... :( x800se will do for the time being.

Ok so its a low chance affair in which only the cards with .1 at the end of its serial (on the chip) can probably work. I checked out my chip earlier 2day and yes there is a laser cut and my serial # is a bit odd. Perhaps is a r423 not r420. It ends with a .3. Dismay....

What other items can i use instead of conductive pens? Does thermal gel conduct electricity? Thanks again.

Never heard of the FSB proggie. i'll check it out. If it does overclock intel some people are gonna be really happy :)

Now that we know that the newer x800pro vivos are lasercut, i have a question: could we use the same exact method of unlocking the AGP x800Pro's? What would be a good conducting material? Im not sure of that myself... Maskingtape and toothpicks i have.... Hopefully someone would have tried...

U need: Courage, conductive paint, and masking tape Any XT PCIe bios will do fine. 1.6ns wont make a difference whatso ever. Its the clock thats important.

I think you are pretty much stuck with that. From my experiance most mobos are somehow different and different bios won't work with different mobos. This is not a graphic card in which most manufacturers follow a reference design. Tough luck... that why i don't by mobos from Intel or F/S. The...
