ok, one of my friends has a 9500PRO. Can he softmod it to a 9700 or 9700pro and if so, how?

thx for the link got wht needed ...Q: Will this work with a 9000/9200/9500 Pro/9600/9700 card?
A: Nope. Those can't be turned into anything better but you can still overclock them.
Exactly. The only difference between a 9500pro and a 9700 is that the 9700 has 256-bit memory. If he truly has a 9500pro his L shaped RAM, then he's got a honest to goodness 9700 on his hands without the need for any softmods (since the extra memory bandwidth dosen't require the softmod to use). However, I've never heard of a 9500pro with L shaped RAM, so it's likely a 9500np (and thus will need the softmod to open up the 4 remaining pipes to turn it into a full fledged 9700).ShaDrag said:The softmod only unlocks pipes, so its for 9500 Non-pro (which has 4 pipes), the pro already has 8 pipes.
