lol Sneaky, there is nothing wrong with softmoding a 9500. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but there isn't any damage done either way and it can always be returned to stock form by simply installing stock drivers.
markjs, as for softmoding to a 9500pro, that is probably all you did anyway. there were some 9500 non-pros with 256bit memory buses and hence those could be turned into 9700s by simply unlocking the other 4-pipes. however, most 9500 non-pros have only 128bit buses just like the 9500pros; only difference being that the pros run all 8-pipes while the non-pros only run 4-pipes. so when you enable the extra 4-pipes on a non-pro which a 128bit bus you make it a pro; if the extra pipes are not functional you are stuck with a 9500 non-pro. if you do have a 256bit non-pro be happy, even though it doesn't run all 8-pipes right it still is nearly as fast as a 9500pro in many situations.
