Make a ATI Radon 6950 into a 6970

[Jomama]

A 6950 costs between $250-$300. (Comparable to nVidia's new 560 Ti)
A 6970 costs between $340-$380. (Top-of-the-line ATi card)

By simply stuffing the firmware from a 6970 into a 6950, you get a huge upgrade for free.

I kind of wish I would have waited and bought a 6950 instead of a 5850 when they came out. :( Oh well, the 5850 works well enough.
