Nope, it's a Radeon 9550. I actually just bought it this past summer - it was an upgrade from my Radeon VE (32mb) video card, lol. I could barely play Doom II with that stupid thing, hahahaha

I was researching recently on X800 pro's. If I remember correctly, it's around the $150 price range.

What's better is that you can most likely mod the bios to unlock it to become an X800 XT, just like the 9800 pro before.

I was also wondering why we don't have that mod guide here yet!

Anyway, hope that helps!

I think only the X800Pro VIVO can be modded to X800XT

If you can spend more then go for the X800GTO2

100% success rate.

Oh yeah, you're absolutely right. You need to look for the yellow connector beside the molex power plug. The VIVO models with the yellow thingy is the better choice.

I haven't heard of the X800GTO2, though.

Alright, so I broke down and just ordered my new 6800GS video card from NewEgg. It was almost double what I had wanted to pay, but I think it'll be worth it. It'll definitely be 900x better than what I got though, that's for sure! I hate running games in 640x480 resolution, lol!

Hindsight being 20/20 - I wish I woulda bought the PCI-e motherboard... Oh well. I should be good to go now for a few months, lol.
