As long as your memory matches the speed of the bios you are going to use you should be ok. I flashed mine so I wouldn't have to set the core and memory over and over and it gave me a little bit more headroom to overclock. If you want to keep your original bios you can change the values as long as you know it will boot at those speeds safely and just reflash it with it's original bios. I used the Sapphire 9600 Pro 128 MB, 398 / 230, Samsung 4.0. I have Hynix 4.0 chips so it worked out fine. Now the odd this was when I tried the Sapphire 9600 Pro 400/250, Samsung 4.0 Bios I got artifacts pretty bad. Have no idea why. I think the bios was posted with the wrong info because if there was only a difference of 20MHz on the memory it should have worked. My card will run at 400/290 for benchmarking and 400/250 for daily use ( I modified the 230 to 250 ;) . But I found that the sweet spot for gaming etc is right at 400/270.
