Red Or Black?

Wats the deal with the PCB color?
I was thinking on Upgrading my VID to 9500np so i can mod it to 97xx. So i heard the saphire was good, since it is OC unlocked. I also heard you need to buy the card with the ram layout "L" shape and red PCB color card.

I checked on the net, apparently there's two colored pcb and they're both "L" shapped rams...

which is betteR? If i get the black pcb.. will that make any difference?

99% of the boards with the L-shaped ram are red. There were a very limited number of black boards released with the L-shaped ram.

just look for a red board - that wil garentee that you can mod it. weather it wil run artifact-free after the mod is a different story........
