Bought this Radeon 9500np a few months ago for £70 and just fitted it with an Artic cooler and RAM sinks, it's softmodded to a 9700 and clocked to 385Mhz on the core and 622Mhz memory. Using Omega 4.7drivers no artifacts.
I'm getting
18298 points in 3dmark01 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7981636
5847 points in 3dmark03 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2797900
For a £70 card I'm very happy, even beats some 9800Pro's I've compared to.
Just out of curiosity, are these the sort of scores I should be getting on my card or aim even higher?

touch the back of the gpu, if your finger burns/melts/gets eaten by strange green animals then you should probably remount your cooler (or change it, although it is one of the best air coolers you can get without DIY'ing). If your going to vmod and want it to last you preferably want temps below 50c, although you shouldnt have any probs if it hits 65c under load in the most demanding games with it vmodded fully.
