There absolutly no way thats possible they are completely different cards
9600 = Value range
9800 = Mid range

LOL You can't overclock it to a newer chip, you overclock it to a higher value

Oh boy - you can probably enjoy one moment of glory if you OC a 9700 Pro to 9800 XT like speeds, but the 9600XT - that's the furthest you can go with a 128-bit card.
