well either way theres no risk as ati cards can't brick.

only concern is that file being 100% legit and not over volting stuff

and yes it can be done through windows, using ati win flash, less of a hassle

theres alot of people whos used that method and file to flash it . if youve tried to oc your card you know that its only possible to 900 core clock and 1300 memory clock. with the asus bios you can go up higher

I would do one card at a time. If you have a bad flash, you can use the working one to reflash the bad card. So doing them 1 at a time will be much safer!

then you may proceed to flash it, but you could as well do it by hand, would take much more time. with your stock bios u can go up to 1.1ghz-1.2ghz core if you kno what you are doing.

Make sure to save your stock BIOS somehow. With it, you can flash back if something is amiss. I don't know how to answer your question about the CF flashing. I would do them separately, but that's just me.
