I'm going to buy a new video card this week and I was wondering if the software hack for the radeon 9500 non pro was still working.
 
well it works just as good as it did when it came out but the issue is still finding hte right 9500 non pro which is harder than ever.

First off, only about %70 of people were successfull in getting a no-artifact mod. Secondly, the PCB design has changed to stop allowing the mod. If you still want to give it a shot, the moddable cards are the one's with the ram arranged in an "L" pattern with the power conn. at the end of the card. (Just like a 9700 Pro)

The newer card design has the ram configured in an in-line pattern with the power conn at the top of the card, near center.(Just like a 9500 Pro) This is the card you DON'T want. But however, people are claiming that the hack will turn these cards into 9500 Pro's because it still enables the other 4-pipes. You just don't get 256-bit memory bus to go with it.

I would buy a 9500 Pro, or a 9700 non-Pro
