Mobility Radeon 9600
I saw this in a post at NotebookForums. If you have this chip in your notebook (it may work with other ATI Mobility chips, I don't know), download the latest Catalyst driver from ATI, save it in C:\ATI\Support and execute it. It will start to go through the installation process but stop, saying that your chip is not supported and that it can't install. Then go to Start\Control Panel\System\Device Manager\Hardware\Display Adapters and open the box for the 9600. Choose driver, update driver, no not at this time, install this driver from a specific location, and then Don't Search, I Will Choose Which Driver To Install, take your pick and reboot. I'm running my Mobility 9600 as a 9800 XT. Windows completely sees it as a 9800XT and I can even now play all the 9700/9800 ATI demos, and they play quite smoothly. No, this does not increase the clock speed (this chip is rather overclockable though) but the chip will now process all the shaders and whatnot as a 9800XT.
