Hi,
at the moment I'm using a 9800 Pro (flashed from PC) in my G5 but I also own a PC X800XT.
I plan to revert my 9800 Pro to PC and flash the X800XT for Mac.

Has anybody got an idea where I could get the X800XT Mac Bios ? This card exists, so the Bios exists, too. Maybe somebody who owns an X800XT for Mac could make this Bios public ???

Thanks !!!!

Are those all Mac ROMs? Does this still work?

I actually flashed a PC Radeon 8500 a few years ago and it still works great, I just remember hearing that ATI had done something to the more modern cards that prevented flashing the PC version.

Does this mean I can go buy a PC x800 XT(cheapper right?) and then flash for my future G5(yet to order it waiting till tomorrow) and have good performance for Motion and games/

Will it perform the same a the mac edition?
