What do you mean? The bios HackedXPS2 Bios was made to be flashed on the 9300.

There are actually 2 hacked Bios: XPS2 and 9300. If you flash your 9300 with the XPS2 hacked Biosand you want to revert to 9300 state, you can flash it back with the 9300 hacked Bios.

Hope I make sense.

I'm assuming you also bought a new heatsink and power adapter, right?

I bought a 130watt power adapter and a heatsink but the original heatsink on my machine was the same as the one I ordered.

Hi, can the 7800 be overclocked the 6800go way or does it have to be the ultra way? and if you don't mind, what clocks did you get for your 6600 run?

thanks, and (not that it matters given the rep whoring going on) left rep for you, ta again, cheers!

No, the Bios is locked like the Ultra. I got 6612 right after I installed the card with default 3dmark05 settings.
