All 9600SE models are 64bit cards.

I didn't know that flashing your bios can result in higher clock speeds.

Well, after installing them and re-overclocking my card with the Omegas's built in Radlinker my desktop was getting full of all this garble (white pixels). So I went to driver heaven and they told me to install a beta version of rad linker so I did and it fixed it. I told you all that because I...

Hey guys, Just informing you that a 4.12b version of Omega Drivers have finally been released! You can download them from http://www.omegadrivers.net/ . What's New? (2k/XP 2.5.97) * Based on the Catalyst 4.12 Beta drivers. * New Radlinker installation method, now it should install...

A FX5700LE should be fine since most of them use passive heatsinks. Or just re-use your old card if possible.

Mate, like wazzledoozle said you would have to be very good with a soldering iron to attach bga/tsop ram modules. You have a very high chance of permanently damaging the card. I reckon its not worth the risk. Anyway, Goodluck :)

Yes we have the same card, except mine has 2.8ns memory and yours has 2.5ns. After I overclocked my card to 497/324 my 3Dmark03 score went from 3180 to 4024. I was very pleased with that! :D. Yours most likely could 400mhz.

It depends, are you a frequent user of computer games? If so are they GPU intensive ones? If they are upgrade to the 9800Pro. But if you don't play much computer games than just upgrade the motherboard.

That memory is 2.5ns and is capable of 400mhz(x2). So you should get a pretty good overclock out of it!

To fix this open up Ati tool, click on settings in the bottom right hand corner. Then select Artifact Scanning from the drop down box. In the 'Heat-up Phase' section change the boxes to the following: Change the first box to 30secs Change the second box to 30secs Change the third box to 120...

Did you attain thoese overclocks with stock cooling? If not what type are you using?

I was able to fit a ATI SLINCER 2 to my 9550XT only because it was based on the 9600XT design (same PCB but different core). So if your card is built on a 9600XT board like mine then you are able to use a Silencer.

Well I tried manually, I got it to 497 then ran a few loops of 3Dmark 03 and it seems very stable. I think I will just leave it there for now. Until HL2 comes out when I'll be overclocking it to its max for more performance :D. Cheers BIOS

Hey guys, I recently installed an Ati Silencer on my 9550XT (based on 9600XT PCB so it fits) and previously I was able to O/C it to 486Mhz on stock cooling using Ati Tools max core feature. But now I can only get an extra 6mhz! with the find maximum core feature! I installed the Silencer again...

Yeah, if your card is capable of running at 9600Pro speeds then bios flash it. Just remember to backup your old bios just incase.
