doesn't really matter anyways anymore, I decided quite some time ago that I won't be doing the mod anyways, too expensive.
for a fraction of that price, I now have 4 x 2.4Ghz opteron with 2GB ram (more to come) and the voodoo5.

I think in regards to performance increase, overclocking the 5500 with the new 4ns ram and 128MB to let's say 200Mhz (which it probably wouldn't make due to 220 chips) would about as much FPS as I will now by going from dual XP3000's with 1GB ram to 2 x Opteron 280 with more and faster ram.

I have benched at stock speed and will see what the difference is soon enough

As someone suggested before, i did used 2 little chipset heatsinks on the back of each GPU, with some thermal paste, on those little things i forgot how they're called
