As we already reported the Geforce 9600 GSO is the renamed Geforce 8800 GS , It exist in two versions with 384MB and 786 MB. In both cases the memory system bus and stream processor are limited .
Associate today revealed that the Galaxy 9600GSO OverClocked edition can be softmodded . This card includes 8 memory chip instead of 6 like normal Geforce 9600 GSO (8800gs) .
Here is the 9600 GSO before the mod :
192Bit , 96 stream processor and 384 MB memory .
Here is the 9600 GSO after the mod :
256Bit , 128 stream processor and 512 MB memory . AND a Full 8800 GTS :-)
In this case u require a bios mod in order to unlock the card.
