Wow. I didn't realize the R350 core has so many different revisions. When I first posted this thread, the only difference in MY 9600 core and 9550 core was that ONE bridge difference in the first pic. I guess everyones card is different almost. Very interesting...

Crap. I just flashed my Powercolor 9550 to a 9600XT and now my computer is blank. Just to post I am using my PCI card. Does anyone know how to save a bad flashed card? I tried flashing but according to ATIFlash there is no ATI adapter. I have had this problem a couple of times with different...
