are you sure that the ram is 2.8ns and not 2.5ns?

OFF TOPIC: cjoyce, take a look on eBuyer for your new card, they're cheap and have been good for me. When this http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/98265 comes back in stock, if your budget can stretch a little I'd recommend that. Out of your three I'd definately go for the X1600 and NEVER the X1300. This wouldn't be bad either, http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/108142 it could compete with the others you have listed.

Isn't there a chance that my BIOS might be locked and that I need to unlock it?

I get this message:

force on?
otherwise use ati flash under dos
make a bootable floppy then boot from it with atiflah udn and the bios on it
rename bios to maybe bios.bin
then flash
