Ok, I did this same thing with my CD burner...they mass produce the same hardware, and use a different BIOS to set speed and whatnot.

That only works if its on the 9700's PCB. If its on the 9500's PCB it wont work,i read extensively into it,see this link: http://www.hardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=549211&highlight=making+a+9500+a+9700

Only the old test samples and first revision shipments came with them....AKA if you were first to recieve when they came out,your chances are ebtetr. ALSO they need to have the 256 RAMDAC bus to work, if im not mistaken.
