You are one of the lucky ones! I belive that only some of the 865pe boards have the ability to get to the PAT feature. I will go to ABIT's site to get more info.

IT LOOKS LIKE ABIT ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER LEADING MOBO COMPANIES FOUND A WAY TO ENABLE THE PAT FUNCTION ON 865PE MOBO'S. I READ WHERE INTEL MAY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS TO MAKE PEOPLE PAY MORE FOR THE 875P CHIP. WELL IT LOOKS LIKE YOU LUCKED OUT HAVING A MOBO WITH ONE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANY LUCK WITH UNLOCKING THE ATI 9600 SERIES CARDS TO ENABLE 8 PIPELINES INSTEAD OF THE 4 THAT ARE ENABLED. I GUESS TWEAKING WILL NEVER END.

yep, I only paid 90 bucks for my board too:D

as far as softmodding your ATI card, I dont know all of the specifics. I own a Nvidia card. I hang around tech forums like http://www.futuremark.com If you want help with this just go there and post the question in their display adapters forum.
