this was his reply:
"Every video card as a bios on it, just like a motherboard does. In the bios, it tells how the card should be clocked( what speed it runs at ) and it turns out the the card I have has the exact same memory and other parts on it as a pro card does, so I was able to replace the non-pro bios with a pro bios easliy, which makes it run faster. The card is completely stable and works perfect! When you install the card, use the lastest drivers on
www.ati.com, it will install as a Radeon 9700 Pro."
Is he right?
