I now have a different problem to what I had before...

With the help of Stu (V3) - I've gotten past that error...

now it seems to simply ignore what ever I put after flashrom.exe and runs as though I had only types flashrom.exe and hit enter

You have a Sapphire Card with Hynix mem and you are trying to Flash with a Samsung Mem Bios? What the Fuck are you doing?

Just go and find a Sapphire 9800XT 128mb Bios. They are out there. I have one works perfect.

http://www.sapphiretech.com/vga/9800-xt.asp

Look there Sapphire has 128mb XT's in stores for Retail Sale. The 9800pro 128mb and the 9800XT 128mb are the exact same Card just with different Bios's.

R350's overclock Well. Some beleive better then R360's.

The issue is Flashing to XT will only Help a R360 Core as it is the only one were the XT bios can help unlock Sharder Optimisations. These are not in R350's. So only Flash if you have a R360 Core.

Tastyweat, those are some great scores. A lot higher than with the 9800pro bios on the same frequencies. Nice to see that you finally got it to work.
