Just got word from Zardon that DriverHeaven's editor Justin Easley has thrown up his new 9500 non-Pro to 9700 non-Pro software mod guide. He's not only going to show you how to do this, but also shows the performance increases that you can gain from this. How do 5,146 3DMark 03 points sound?
The easiest way to hack, or unlock a Radeon 9500 non pro is to install the Omega Drivers... I will be using these today to show you what happens to a 9500 np that is unlocked, and overclocked... as these drivers have both the ability to overclock, and to unlock the Radeon 9500 non pro.
