    Mod 6850 into 6870

    EDIT: Crud, sorry guys. It's a 6950 to 6970 as stated. Obviously wasn't thinking and in a hurry last night...but I can't edit the title now.

    Just thought some of you on the fence to purchase a new GPU might like to see this article. Apparently for now at least, the 6850 is a BIOS modded (i.e. locked) 6970. So...you can unlock those shaders for free, essentially getting a 6970 for much lower cost.
