Is there a soft-mod to unlock the 4 pipes on this card? It is non-vivo and I would rather not even attempt any kind of hard-mod. thanks.
 
I do have pretty dang good soldering skills, but probably not good enough to make the mod needed.
 
You could always upgrade to the X800 XL. Since they're pricing is similar, you can probably sell it for more than you can buy it and make a profit like I do when upgrading. =)

Remember, on eBay people will get caught up in the bidding and bid higher than it's worth! ;P
 
X800 Pro's are on the 130nm low-k core, so they're very overclockable, get a waterblock on it, a pencil volt mod, and you could pull off 600mhz on the core.
