Which drivers are better to use for softmod? Also, how do you go from 9500->9800???

I'm a big fan of the omega drivers. You just install the drivers and it does the softmod for you automatically. You can choose to do the >9800 tweak as well.
And they come with RadClocker, which is an excellent overclocking tool. It puts a "clock" tap in to advanced display properties.

Opens up 4 pipes that ATi shut down in order to make it a 9500 instead of a 9800...basically the architectures are damn near identical, just those 4 pipelines are closed off by the drivers for some reason IIRC.

The Omega drivers will not auto-softmod for Win9x users. Mine is hardmodded so I don't ever have to worry about installing a driver and re-applying the mod :)

i know.......thats the 9700 tweak, i asked what the 9800 tweak is and how can it be applied to the omega drivers? Also, when i click on rTools and then compatibility settings, disable heirarchicalZ and disable hyperZ and disable TCL are checked, but they are greyed out?? What is that supposed to mean? It is either checked or not? Why is it greyed out and checked?
