Just got word that the Software Mod For Turning Your Radeon 9500 Non-Pro Into A 9700 , 9800SE and 9800 PRO guide has been updated for combination with the Catalyst 5.11 drivers! If the softmod succeeds your card will behave exactly like a 9700 and 9800 PRO (8 pipelines, 256bit bus) card.

Catalyst 5.11 v6.14.10.6583 Patched ati2mtag.sys (9500 -> 9700 and 9800SE -> 9800 PRO) This file will also work on the hotfix release for All-In-Wonder cards.
