Hi,
hello to everyone,
first, thanks for the mod, my GTO^2 is running with 16 pipes and at 540/540, havent gone further with the memory untill my 2nd question is answered,

but, i wanted to ask a couple of things
mem and core frequency changes made by ati tools arent permanent, the changes occure when i load the profile i created for those settings, is there a bios i can use to make the mods permanent ? or just modd the bios it has now, ?

2nd issue, i´ve been hearing from different people and sources that the sapphire GTO^2 carries 2.0ns samsung memory and other sources tell me its 1.6ns samsung memory,
which memory does it really carry, 1.6 or 2.0 ? if its 2.0, with 540 i´ve done enough, if its 1.6, i could try getting the memory speeds up to XT PE stats,

thank you for your time and thanks in advance for any responses

First, you can simply mod the bios you have now with Rabit. Second, to be a 100% sure of what type of mem you have, look at the chips. If it says GC20, its 2.0ns, if it says GC16, its 1.6ns.
