9800 BIOS flashers:

Have any of you BIOS flasher done the flash on a card with Infineon RAM, or have you all got a card with Samsung?
I'm worried about flashing my Sapphire 9800 with 3.0ns Infineon that hits 330MHz max, I have a BIOS that's been altered to 380/325, so I oculd flash and have a "safe" speed, but pretty much all the guides etc say only to flash if you have Samsung RAM. So has anyone flashed an Infineon card successfully or tried and failed to flash one?

Cheers for any input, I don't want to ruin my card, so I'm not going to flash unless it seems safe.
 
You should be fine with that Pro BIOS - that one is intended for Infineon memory. Your core will definately be able to take it, and the memory usually tops out at ~330 on those cards.
 
IT doesn't work very well on the infineon mem from what I've been reading at rage3d.com, it seems the memory can't handle the drastic jump in mem speed when flashed-I myself have flashed 3 cards built by ati 8500, sapphire 9700nonpro, sapphire 9800non pro-all three were able to flash and push beyond the PRO and Retail speeds but the 9800non pro is by far the best OC out of the three.


the saphires had 2.8ns samnsung and 3.3ns samsung.
