Default X800se or X800 Pro Overclocker situation ?

Do any of you predict the x800 SE or the X800 Pro to be a good
overclocker ?
Hoping to give Powerstrip a good exercise. Too bad the Softmods will
be useless with the X800 series. Ati learned it's lesson. Wonder if
the 6800 is hardware disabled in the same manner...

6800 uses a different gpu than 6800ultra. So much for overclockin

Both babies will provide more than enough FPS at default speed for at least
a year. Why the hell overclock them ?

waffled on about something:

I was thinking something along those lines, but at the end of the day
there is no such thing as too much processing power.

Probably right. Just if you couldn't softmod em, thought you could
atleast overclock em. But as you said, probably won't make a real
diff.
