9600GSO to 8800GTS (certain 8chip 9600gso's)

[Frank M]

Umm, the latest 9600 GSO uses G94b core, correct ? So with native 256 bit, there's not much to unlocked, and it comes with standard, hardlocked 48 SPs 24 TMUs configured GPU chip.

Exactly. A few months after release, nv sneakily replaced the original,
G92-based 9600GSO (96sp, 192 bit) with a G94 (48sp, 256 bit), keeping
the same name. The give-away is RAM amount: 192bit G92 cards have 384
or 768MB of RAM, while 256bit G94 cards have 256, 512 or 1024MB RAM. So
that there is a G94.
