    Nice mod! I always like getting something for nothing!

    I figured that things like 6970/6950 GPUs and 4 core/3 core CPUs were always made as the higher end part, and if some part of it got screwed up, they just adjusted the software and called it the lower end part, thus saving on wasted materials.

    I have an XFX 6950 on the way from Newegg this week. This WILL be done, possibly along with a writeup (time allowing).
