You can overclock it, but you can't wave a magic wand and transform it into
a 9700 or 9800. Take a look in the tweaking forum at www.rage3d.com

I like that.

I've got a 115Volt picture tube I'd like you to look at (touch).

I have a 9500 pro.

Flashing the bios overcame a limiter that ATI put in it to prevent OC'ing,
plus it enabled unused pipelines, giving better performance. I got around
10-15% better performance in benchmarking software, and the card appears in
properties as a 9700 pro (Although it obviously doesn't perform like one).
