I just switched out my X1900XT (which was a FANTASTIC card) for a HD4850, which is phenomenally better than an already great card! Red tide for the win!

Slinkey - pull the blue wire on the fan header (locks fan @ 100%) and then use AMD GPU Clock Tool like you normally would to overclock to whatever the heck you want, OR... flash the bios, make sure you use the new atiflash, and the new RBE.
