ATI Radeon X800 GTO unlock to X850

[chemdog]

hello folks,

im sure i read on this forum - but cant find it - that I can unlock my Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GTO 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) to a higher spec, i think it was the spec of the X850.

I also noticed the sticky thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17481933 which talks about "flashing" that card. is this exactly what i am looking for? if not is this unlock possible and where can i get more info, do i need to change the g/c cooling fan and is the upgrade noticeable or more hassle than worth from others experience?

thanks

iain
