Im getting a OEM 9500 pro and would like to overclock
it a touch. Do I need to flash the bios or can I just use a program like
Radlinker ?
TIA

The 9500 Pro already has 8 pipelines enable so you don't need to do any work
on it, and my 9500 Pro could easily be overclocked!

I even got to 9700 Pro levels, but ... with only 128bits memory bus it's not
much forward.oh well!

My 9500 pro needed Flashing because the clocks were locked.

If its a gen-u-ine ATI product you will probably have to flash the
bios to unlock it.

Thats what I was afraid of. Ive flashed a Voodoo3 and a Geforce 2
successfully but I bios flashed a Sapphire 9100
last year and that went wrong so Im wary of flashing another ATI card.

Isn't there a "soft" patcher built into RivaTuner?
