Flashing 9800gt to 8800gt to SLI

[A Hitman]

I have an XFX 8800GT that I want to SLI. However as the 8800GT is being phased out it is becoming harder to buy them. New 9800Gt's are cheaper than 8800GT's.
So is it possible to flash this (http://www.playtech.co.nz/prod...on=showdetail&id=5763) with an 8800GT Bios?
Thanks

There are literally hundreds of 8800GTs on Ebay. Probably be a better route rather than bricking a brand new 9800GT.

Look in the For Sale/Trade forums right here on Anandtech. You'll find an 8800GT for cheap to SLI and they don't have to be the same brand, either.

I forgot to mention i live in New Zealand. Shipping form other countries is expensive and our exchange rate is at its lowest it has been for many years.
