Yes that is the card you're looking for. Mine was built by Sapphire, please remember though that just because it has the correct memory config. it doesn't necesssarily mean it'll softmod ok. Those pipes were turned off for a reason and if i remember corectly the success rate was only around 45%. Many suffered artifacting when the pipes were unlocked & opened.
well mine and many others softmodded great im sure the success rate is much higher for the right type of cards e.g. the l shaped memory cards
mine softmodded and clocked higher than 9700 pro speeds
and yes merlin the card you suggest is the right type and it looks like it may be already softmodded if not it still clocks to pro speeds so u just download the omega drivers and it will mod it for u
beware alot of people have had trouble with retek with returns etc
alot of the probs were overheating issues , it is recommended you take of the heatsink and redo the thermal paste with some good quality thermal paste
i know bugger all about thermal paste, Would u say its worth buying this retek card if im looking for 9700 speeds? 42 pound u cant go to far wrong :S. If the card overheats then they have no option but to take the card bk....

It's quite easy to replace the thermal paste, just a case of lifting off the cooler, wiping off the old gunk and spreading a thin layer of fresh stuff over the core.
Then replace the cooler.
Easy
ive now been told in the wanted section, that particular 9500 on the retek website wont run anywhere near 9700 speeds cause of the 128mbit and 4 pipelines :S. Plus is it be or has it jsut gone up 20 quid :S
Cheers lads
