Radeon 9500 = Radeon 9500 Pro = Radeon 9700?

Yeah, all 4 cards use the same R300 core, with features or speed cut down.

R9500 with 64MB uses 4 pipelines and 128 bit memory bus.
R9500 with 128MB uses 4 pipelines and 256 bit memory bus.
R9500Pro uses 8 pipelines
R9700 uses 8 pipelines and 256 bit memory bus
R9700Pro is faster than the 9700

So you can software upgrade the R9500 to either a 9500Pro or a 9700 (depending on the amount of installed memory), and then overclock to get a faster 9500Pro or a 9700Pro.

Nice, eh?

I mean enabling disabled features on the core itself. Namely going from 4 pipelines to 8.
