Default Radeon 9500 to Radeon 9700pro

Well as my Board exams are over I m a little relaxed but not a lot as IIT JEE and AIEEE are approaching.
Anyways today i tried the soldering mod to convert my Radeon 9500 to radeon 9700pro.
Let me tell U its an original ATi Radeon 9500 non-pro version with 128Mb DDR ram and engine/core clock of 275/270(ie 540mhz memory) with 4 pixel pipelines and 2 Vertex shaders. It had 3.0ns ram chip. i had used the softmod earlier which worked nearly for 2 yrs. then i bought my turbojet sounding beast Club3D XGI Volari V8 Ultra DUO (I call it turbojet bcause it really makes a lot noise as it has 2 Fans to cool dual GPUs and DDRII) after which i removed my radeon 9500 but today i thought of trying the soldering mod to the card.
terrified and anxious like hell I commited this sucidal job and when plugged it in my PC my heart was beating very very hard. Switching the PC on I waited 4 a few minutes, as no boot screen appeared, i thought card died and ran 2 my friend almost about 2 cry, but he then just made a blind flash with a radeon 9700 pro bios and said that underclock the card at home. I happilly came back and thought why 2 underclock if my card remains stable at 325/650 mhz and yes it not only did but also I overclocked it upto 375/345(ie 690mhz memory) mhz. i not only happy but overwhelmed with it as even at hardcore benchmarking and gaming temperature rose a maximum to 55C (as I attached copper hatsinks to RAM with Arctic Silver paste and bought a second hand thermaltake Copper heasink with a fan with maximum speed of 5500 rpm in Rs 500/-)

i benchmarked my modded card and got following scores : -
