But what is faster, 9700 or 9500 Pro? They show the benchies but fail to include a 9500 Pro. (And not everyone can get 370MHz on a 9500, now can they?

According to other review sites the 9500 only has 128 bit memory bus!!
here's the russian version, look at pics and benches:

They still saying that only 64mem version of 9500pro has 128bit mem, and the 128mem has in fact 256bit interface.

This wouldnt work with a 9500 Pro Cisco...the 9500 regular is still using the original "hacked" version of the PCB that was given to reviewers a while ago...thats y this works.

Not to sound like a smart *** or anything p) but im very sure thats y it is. If u look at the 9500 Pro to the 9700 cards, there are quite a few differences. However, if u look at the 9500 regular cards, to the 9700 cards, there is virtually no difference at all in the PCBs

I saw a link to the russian article on [H]ardOCP last night while I was at work. I rushed home to post here about it...apparently I was late
that sounds about right. but it may not be completely true (hey, I can hope, can't I?!?!?). there may be some way to "unlock" the 256bit bus on the 9500 pro, even if this isn't it...if the 256bit bus is, in fact, even on the 9500pro, like it is on the old 9500's.
It looks like that xbit article is exactly the same as the russian one I looked at last night. same pics and everything. so the only thing I've seen out there about this mod is what we read there, and what we've discussed here.
I'd ALMOST be willing to do a mod like this to my 9500pro...but ONLY if I saw a LOT more info, from a LOT more peeps, in a LOT more forums.
I don't really browse any other forums...have any of you guys that do seen anything else about this anywhere else?

according to a thread at anand:

you need a 128mb version of the 9500 NON PRO to do this

and also some of the 9500 128mbs do not use the 9700pcb as the Saphire one does so if you plan to try this, use that one, the 9500Pro cant be modded like this because it has all 8 pipelines and a completely different pcb design
