VR-Zone (http://www.vr-zone.com/) has posted two X800 Mod articles. The First (http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=850&s=1) show you how to turn your 12 pipe X800 Pro into a 16 pipe X800 XT. The Second (http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=852&s=1) deals with Voltage mods.
Also VR-zone reports that ATI will showcase its budget and midrange X300 & X600 (http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=851&s=1) cards at Computex
This should be the best mod of all this season, that is, to turn an X800 Pro into an XT Platinum by enabling the remaining 4 pipelines (one quad block). So far a few guys have managed to mod it successfully but many still don't. However, there should be a reason for ATi to lock down one of the quad and it could be due to a faulty pipeline present in the quad block so try it at your own risk.
--------------
Core voltage:
Connect a 10K ohms variable resistor to R1597 as shown, one wire to each end.
--------------
ATI will showcase its first 0.11-micron graphics chip, the Radeon X300 (RV370) and Radeon X600 (RV380) on June 3 at Computex Taipei including the Radeon X800. The Radeon X300 chips aim at the entry-level card market with prices below US$100. ATi is expected to complete tape-out of its next-generation VGA chips, using a 90nm process, in the second half of this year, with volume production scheduled to start in early 2005.
