If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.  That's my motto 
 
How did you bust your card trying to flash someone elses?  (EDIT nm you posted while I was typing :p)
You can pick up PCI video cards pretty cheap in the event you get a card with a bad flash...I have never tried a blind flash before.  Although have flashed cards when the screen was barbled, was still sorta able to see what was going on.
