Hmmmmm... there must be different revisions of the Radeon 9700 and 9500 floating around. I have worked with two of them already and both times, the shim and the core were the same level. I checked this with a razor blade and the core was almost the perfect hight for the shim.

Having said that, I have not had a problem installing and using my Radeon block on either card without removing the shim.

<shrug>

Side note: I plan on Vmoding and pelting my Radeon here in a couple of days anyways. Wondering if I should remove the shim for that or not................
