I just checked in Everest home edition end it says that core is not RV250
but RV280, does it make any difference?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Sorry, my mistake...a 9200 is the RV280 core. The 9000 is the RV250. Only
difference between the two is AGP8X compliance in the RV280, which is a moot
point indeed on a GPU of this type. Not worth it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

That's v-moddin, risky game mate. the card had shite memory but
9500/9700 reference pcb with 'L' shaped memory, I find it difficult
to accept he got away with it on passive cooling.

ATi tool running for 1/2 hour on both core & memory will give you some
indication of whether your card is worthy of any mod.

Another, and there are many alternatives, is :

I think it's worth it to try. Because if he burns it out then he has a good
excuse to upgrade to a card that will do what he wants out of the box.
