Hello, I'm on a budget, and I was looking for a card on the $140-$150 range. I was first going to go for the 9600xt, but then I found this card at newegg, it seems it only has 4 pipelines but the memory is 256 bit and everything operates at normal pro speeds. Reading further I saw that most of the people were able to succesfully open the other 4 pipelines, so here comes my question- Is it possible to kill the card easily If I open the other pipes, I have heard of a bunch of people with x800 pro's that have lost them due to this mod. Is the 9800 line more tolerant? anyway I'll probably go with this card, because even with the 4 pipelines it seems to outperform the 9600xt.
Thanks
Dan
