Thanks, the problem is that i don't have the necessary tools for flashing the card. That's why I need it preflashed; if i have to buy everything from scratch (a pci graphics card, and then the firegl x3) it will be probably more expensive than buying the card alone.
About changing the EEPROM, it's not really necessary for my needs... I'm happy with my 9000PRO, but is a ***** working on any *nix system, and the x800xt will also give a nice boost to my desktop and video playback.
