Not as dangerous as people claim. The Sapphire 9800 Pro actually has an 9800 XT GPU installed. The only differences are the speed and some specific options that aren't there (temperature sensor and such). If you can overclock your card to XT speeds, then you should be able to get the XT bios to work. Just get the right bios, BACKUP THE OLD ONE, and flash it.
Note the BACKUP. If things go wrong, you can flash the card to install the original bios. That's probably the most essential step you should take.
Results are pretty positive; the Sapphire cards are known for being able to run at XT speeds, with an XT bios. A colleague of mine has the thing running fine.
