Transform a GF6800 PC into a GF6800Ultra MAC!

Al Olk has made a nice piece of work!
Since he could not buy a high-end Mac edition graphic card, due to either availability or the "ridiculous" price asked for it, he has decided to flash a PC graphic card. His choice: ASUS V9999 Game Edition, powered by a GF6800 (not a GT neither an Ultra).
He is describing in Strangedogs forum, how one can quickly and easily (2 resistors to be modified + ROM flashing) transform a not overpriced PC graphic card into a top notch GeForce 6800 Ultra Mac.

The success of this procedure is probably due to both the under clocked GPU and the 256MB of GDDR3 used in this model.
[update]: The DVI output is still not functional but Al Olk is working on it.
An ASUS V9999GE graphic card can be found in France for 370€. The price for a GF6800Ultra DDL on The AppleStore: 699€.
