You could try that but I think you card is pretty damn good as is.

You seem pretty upset with your 9800pro, while most of the people here are running cards that can't even light a candle to the one you have.

Is there something wrong with it? Are you not getting top-of-the-line performance with it?

If it's pro, you wanna sell it?

Hehe..just kidding, unless..of course you actually WANT to sell it. heh

I've never heard of a way to solder on more ram, and if there WERE a way, you'd have to have a pretty steady hand for that.
If you're itching to mod it, try the voltage mod.

I was looking at it and I thought i could remove the 128 and replace it with a 256 chip but that would require having the 256 chip.... D:, ne1 want to tear apart there 9800 256 for me
