    Should be, I just opened it up, clicked, saved, uploaded. After I uploaded I used the drop-down on the bottom to flop between them to look for differences.

    Woohoo for +rep! Thanks Moo.

    Hmm.. Weird, I'm not showing any change in the info regardless of which one I select. Also regardless of which one I select when I go to save it, it wants to save the same thing.. o_O I'm uploading a SS now

    Got it. I noticed the first one was like 40k-ish and the other was 60k-ish.

    Here is the 60k-ish one. Sorry about that. I had assumed the top/default one would be the master.

    Other card

    EDIT: Mediafire didn't want to work for me so it's rapid share again. =(

    Were you guys able to successfully flash a slave 3870 card with a master bios or are you still experimenting?

    only some were that way. when there was a shortage of the cards a while back most companies were shipped all master cards and they flashed then as slaves. these will not be protected. the ones originally flashed as slave i found out can not be flashed back to master.. well they can be but the process from what i was told is something we could not do. they would have to go back to be done

    Crap Moo, sorry. I was hoping the one I uploaded worked for you. Sadly since I have been traveling the last few days in Bagdad I didn't get a chance to log on here and check up on it.
