Hey,
I've got a Tyan G9600Pro but I'm slightly worried that it doesn't actually say anywhere when I am on my computer that it is a pro, although I know it is a pro.
For example, Medal of Honor has an Autoselect Settings function. It gives me the following info:
Mem Range: 512
CPU: 1531 Mhz
Card Type: Radeon
Card Driver: RADEON 9600
Card Mem Range: 64mb
Now, the 9600 is 128mb. So what's this all about? Also I've seen some things like 3dmark 03 and allied assault say I have Direct X 8, but I have 9.0b, I know this because it says so when I run dxdiag.

Seems strange. The only diff between the 9600 and 9600PRO is clock speed, 300/400 (300/200) vs 400/600 (400/300). What are your clocks set at? Seems awful strange they'd come up 64MB, what do apps like 3Dmark03 say? You can turn off AGP mode (AGP0x/disabled instead of AGP8x) or set AGP Aperture to ZERO (or VERY low) as these will force games/apps into your gfx RAM only, it should become evident VERY quickly if you have 64MB as little will be able to run esp in decent res, details and AA+AF. The DX8 thing is pretty normal, the game simply checks for DX8 which it is designed to utilise, it should say "DX8 or better" is detected.
some cards are locked, some are not, guess how the cards can be unlocked - changing the pci device id to the other one (requires flashing its bios).
