I want to know the success rate and if I use the building bootable dos maker will i be able to back up? and if so how will i restore it from that?

mikeycooly

NM!!!! I NEED TO READ DIRECTION! ANY WHO I AM GOING FOR IT! I got readon 9100 pci ready. My only question is how do i boot from the backup if it goes boom. I will have to underclock it cus i can't get to those speed but let's go!

me972

no prblem - if the AGP card doesnt boot meaning that the flash went bad- then you pull it out put in the PCI card set your Motherboard settings to init display from PCI/AGP instead of AGP/PCI and then you shut down and put the AGP back in - only you leave the screen connected to the PCI card. that way the pc boots and see whats going on and then you just reflash with the original bios you backed up.

the success rates are very good for gigaCube and PowerColor 9800SE cards with 256 bit memory bus.
as for Np/Pro cards they are also good - even better then SE. as they usually come with faster memory chips.

you should all do your first flash using the same brand bios as your card - if you cant find one then use the gigacube - usually works on all cards.

as for memory chips other then hynix and Samsung. I have no idea haven't heard of any that worked as they are usually very slow memory chips.

hope this helps..if you have any more questions dont be shy - and ask away.

Well it worked!!!! but to be careful i quickly underclocked it a bit and i will push it up to see that this memory can do. THANKS!!!!

mikeycooly

I will grab a Vga silencer and a ram heat sink and again THANKS! Any way I get get a pic of a the vga attached?

mikeycooly

I am posting too much. Ok what the difference between the two powercolors. Also I installed the omega drivers and it corrupted my screen. This did not happen until i installed it so i am retring with new cats.

mikeycooly

WELL!! It was omega drivers reacting with new cats. I am going to retry flash!

mikeycooly

WELL! inferon memory sucks i need to find specific flashes

So, we use the Gigacube bios if we have a Sapphire 9800 Pro 128? Mine was origionally a Sapphire 9800 Non-Pro and I flashed it to Pro. Last night I tested it using the ATI Tool and it started getting artifacts at 425/390 with stock heatsink and no ramsinks, so I think I'm ok to flash it if I can use the Gigacube Bios. Ordered some ramsinks and a Arctic VGA cooler last night also.

Thanks.
