    i ask because i found a bios patch thing that will make a 9800 pro into a 9800xt. i suppose its worth a shot. i'll make a back up of the origional.

    I thought the conversion could only be done on 256bit 128meg cards...

    There Is No Difference But The Speed. I Think They Build Same Chips , Run One At Lower Speed And Other At Higher Speed By Seeting In Bios.
