Compatibility, service & archival notes
The reference 128 MB 9600 XT specification is not universal to all 9600-series cards.
Inspect RAM layout, board label and cooler; check AGP voltage and legacy Catalyst branch. Preserve DVI adapter and TV-out cable if original to specimen.
- Check signaling, slot keying, lane width, power pinout, board/module dimensions, case clearance, airflow and PSU requirements for the exact specimen.
- Use drivers supporting its device ID and target OS. Preserve original installer and firmware copies, and record their versions before changes.
- Do not energize boards with corrosion, cracks, damaged connectors, obstructed cooling or suspected shorts; document condition before bench testing.
