whats the diff between, overclocking a 9800NP using powerstrip or similar to 9800pro levels and flashing its bios to the level. ??

I mean if the only diff is that the min clock speed after a flash is pro speed why would you risk the flash and not just oc to that lvl with little to no risk to your card.

as usual im prolly missing something here :D

I guess if you flash it, you won't have to run the Pstrip or use some other software to keep it at that high speed; instead, it'll boot at Pro speeds by default.

If you flash it, you can move it to another machine and it is identified and functions as a Pro.

The safest route is to use o/c software for a while to make sure the memory is up to snuff.

If you do the flash as recommended, you will have the original bios backed-up on the flash diskette.
