Benefits of flashing 9800PRO to XT

[Efaill]

I've just recived my 9800PRO and was wondering what benefits are if I have the R360 core. Are there any benefits over just clocking the card wih radlinker and such?

Update your sig

Apparently it helps you overclock a bit higher and gives you a few hundred more points in 3d mark as standard

I still need to flash mine

hmmm seems worth it then Be weekend job though, don't want to rush it and pooch it within 24hrs

Runs at Xt speeds instead of pro. How much ram you got on the card and i hope youve got the cooling to boot?

Efaill change your sig again. You don't have "twinmoss" you have "TwinMOS" Sorry, it was one of my annoyances

Anyone got any links to decent guides on this process?

The Card has 128MB ram so I'll be needing the 128Mb XT bios and I have an Artic cooler waiting to on the card that sit next to a 120mm case fan in the side panel. Cooling catered for I think

Sig also changed

All this upgrading should go nice with the Raid0 scsi array I hope to put in the machine to this weekend

Cooling should be fine

Ive OC'd my 9800 to 468/377 with ati tool is this comparable to the Xt or is this flashing business worthwhile? i have a r360 core I checked when I fittef the arctic cooler on my card I read somewhere that flashing to an XT doesnt make any real performance gains over overclocking but stops you having to set the clock each time which is a nuisance?
