Thanks RobP, I'll try it tonight. Can this version address the issue of mem speed tweaking for 6990 cards? That's the only problem I seem to be having. The sheer temperature it runs at doesn't allow me to use the top and bottom cards. I've read repeatedly that running memory at lower speeds (300 instead of default 1250) can significantly reduce the heat and V consumption as well. The room's lighting starts flickering when a 4th GPU starts to run, so I'm running only three now.

Should I just go to Windows 7 and use 2x6990 and move the third one to a new system?

I've also read about Bios flashing, but I'm not too sure if this will work for 6990 and/or the most recommended method.

I appreciate any help provided.

No, however, I just read elsewhere in the forums that Catalyst 11.6 allows you to over/under clock beyond the ranges in the BIOS without reflashing under DOS.  I haven't tried it yet though.

It WILL allow you to move within the ranges, but that's not much (I can only get the RAM to 900 on my stock 5830s)
