A Tale to tell about flashing!!!

Scoop · May 17, 2003, 01:10 PM

Just been to hell and back after what I thought would be a stroll in the park! (so to speak! Hmm Hmm)
Decided to flash my bios on my trusty ati 9800 pro solely to increase my clock speeds and got into no end of bother, however managed to get it back by saving Old_bios.rom. Thank goodness.
And the morally of this short story.... "Dont go a flashing your pro as you could be in for a nasty shock"!

Kindest Regards (and a pint to the bloke who told me to back up my old bios first

)
