9500 Pro followup...
The Radeon 9500 Pro that I flashed has been declared a success. It performed perfectly in the G4 I tested it in. It easily trumpted the Geforce 5200 I pitted it against. I hope that it pulls in some money from the eBay auction.
I hope to get back the money spent on finding out it doesn't work in my Gaming PC's motherboard due to some various incompatibility.
wow -- just wow. This is so profitable it's not even funny. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Loose lips sink ships. Etc.
