I recently purchased a 'Pulled' version of the ASUS Radeon 9600 Pro board.
It appears this card was manufactured for Hewlett-Packard. Details show the
GPU is RV350, with 256MB Hynix HY5DU561622CT-5 Memory. Problem is - I can't
find ANY details on this card at either the H-P site or at ASUS.

Anyone have any more details they can share regarding this board? BTW, card
only has an aluminum Heatsink and came clocked at 324 core and 195 mem...

You've got a straight 9600, not a 9600 Pro. Might even be a 9600SE. And
it's a little underclocked at that. Straight 9600 and the 9600SE have a
325Mhz core, and 200Mhz memory. A 9600 Pro will have a 400MHz core and
300Mhz memory. A 9600SE is the same as a straight 9600, except for 64bit
memory pathways. AIDA32 will tell you this, and I think Sandra will too.

You definitely have a 9600SE there. Asus only makes 2 of ATI 9600
family....the 9600XT and the 9600SE. Those slow 5ns memory and those
core/memory speeds rule out the XT. If you just bought this and were told it
was a 9600 Pro I'd be taking it back for a refund right away.
 
OK Folks, a little more detail here...
This card was built SPECIFICALLY as an OEM card for H-P. The BIOS of the
card specifically says:
ATI RADEON 9600 PRO
I can clock the core to about 434 using the ATI tool, and memory to about
245.

Hmmmm....your original post gave a core of 324Mhz and a memory of
195.....which is right on for 9600SE spec....a core of 376Mhz with 198Mhz
memory is representative of the cheaper OEM 256Mb 9600 Pro cards. AIDA32
also says 128 bit memory, so it's not an SE model. Looks like some kind of
inexpensive OEM 256Mb 9600 Pro with slow memory. Try running 3DMark 2001 and
2003 with your overclock and see if there's any artifacting. I suspect that
memory won't take such a high overclock when under 3D load.
 
OK Augustus - you caught me! Yeah I bumped the core up to see what would
happen...
I don't want to go TOO high with the Cheapo HS and No fan...

I'll try running the benchmarks and see where that leads me...

Remeber - AIDA32 is no more, the developer "sold" it to another
company... But its still FREE for personal USE... but they charge
for the enterprise version now (does not effect us).

Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called, people threaten to kill you. (What country is this again?)

- 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?)
God bless the land of the free. Where you can burn the Constitution... Ashcroft does it every day.
 
OK Folks - Thanks for al the feedback. I returned this board to the
vendor..I am now in search a replacement.
