p2mm over at Beyond3D's Forum has found an article posted at the Chinese site Unika that claims you can Mod a Radeon X800Pro to X800XT with the full 16 pipelines. Here's a Translation by Google.


Through contrasts two section Radeon the X800Pro graph chip and two section Radeon the X800XT graph chip, we discovered on the chip seal surface right angle has is similar to the AMD processor surface three groups of golden bridge, said to Radeon X800Pro, is left the first group of golden bridge to shut off by the laser, said to Radeon X800XT, is most left and the most right two groups of golden bridge completely connects, therefore we have the reason to extrapolate, if connects most left side group of golden bridges, then Radeon X800Pro is shielded 4 exaggerate the pipeline to be allowed to open once more, if about 2 groups of golden bridges completely will shut off, then Radeon X800XT turned Radeon X800SE, Only some 8 picture elements exaggerate the pipeline, certainly, the R420 graph chip has certainly certainly in the middle of the production process is good rate, after in other words Radeon X800Pro forces opens 16 to exaggerate the pipeline, 16 exaggerate the pipeline whether completely normal work also to have to look at everybody the luck.
