Flashing 8500 OEM/LE success ???

[DusterAZ]

Hello,

I'm thinking about getting an ATI Radeon 8500. First off, what is the difference between the retail, OEM, and LE? Second, please tell me how much success you have had flashing it to retail and what improvements you got in overclocking. Thanks in advance!

One more question, by flashing to retail ... do you think that future bios updates for the retail 8500 will work with a 8500 OEM/LE that has already been flashed to retail?

The difference between the retail and the oem is that the oem is clocked 25mhz lower than the retail. It seems that the people on the 3drage forums have been pretty successful at flashing the bios
