9800SE can any of these be unlocked to be TRUE 9800 pros if so which ones ?

Got some brands, names countrys ?

And if they are unlockable are they as good as a true 9800 pro ?, ram
speed wise ect.

Just would like to save some money on my next card upgrade, before i
skip atleast two Generations of Vid cards might get the next gen or
after than when photorealistic graphics are realy here

Thanks.

Some 9800SE's CAN be indeed modded into 9800 Non Pro mode. Generally
the 9800SE's come with slower memory ( 3,3 ) thus overclocking it to
9800 Pro speed will.. not be always possible.

There we're shops selling 9800SE's that there pre-checked to see if
they could run with 8 pipelines. If they could they we're sold as
9800SE but slightly more expensive and a half kind of garantue that 8
pipelines WHERE working.

But ofcourse... that is not now anymore!

Might as well go with a 9800 Pro the Softmod is NOt very good i think.

Depends if you want the tuner and capping features... I did. I was
upgrading from an 8500DV, and the chance to get 9800pro power and
video cap facilities for such a low price was a big temptation.

Luckily my card unlocked perfectly.
