Procedure for flashing a 9800pro to xt?

[bluehorizon]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a thread that explains this in detail. How would I flash a 9800pro to run as a 9800xt? Is it just a simple flash with the xt bios or is it more complicated than that? Also, could someone please post a link to the exact bios I would need?

Thank you!

You need to make sure that you have a 360 core. The only sure way is to remove the heaatsink and look. This would void the warranty. Even if you do have a 360 core, there is no guarantee that it would work. You will also be voiding the warranty by the flash.
Make sure to backup the original bios and have a PCI graphics card handy in case things go wrong!

You can find lots of pages with instructions or information about this by searching. This is one sample:
