Yeah, I dunno exactly what it is, but I gather that it's some kind of overclocking :confused:
must be software mod.
There is already something like : Iceblu said me 9500 pro and softmod with a zalman cooler to 9800.

Radeon all the way, don't think about the FX series, they have got serious problems according to many reports on the net.

i think that if you buy a card from the fx series it will have a longer compatability life.
so if u don't update too often, i think an fx card will be more likely to be compatable with games a few years from now

I have a Sapphire Radeon 9800np (128 DDR, 2.8ns)...and its awesome.
You could get the 9800 Pro with 256 MB DDR if you want. It beats the FX5900 in most of the tests.
The new drivers (Catalyst 3.6) work well with no problems..
I would never go back to Nvidia having used Radeons for the last couple of months now.
don't worry about compatability....all the new games are tested on Radeons ...
my 3Dmark 2001 score is 15402

the 9500 pro is better than the FX5600. Its really a very good card. The 9600 is good too but a bit slower than the 9500 and the FX5600.
