yea, it's true. the 9600 series, including the 9550 have weird holes for the heat sink and fan and it's hard to find one to fit it. you can do what i did. take the fan off, take the heat sink off and apply artic silver 5, put the heatsink back on without the fan and get a pci slot fan and put right under it. tigerdirect has a nice one for 20. it also has blue leds on it. pretty nice.

Well i have no way of telling you unless you give me a picture. But, if you pick up a zalman vf700-cu I'm 90% shure it will fit.

I put a 256mb card because I found this review on spire's page

The both coolers look the same to me

If the heatsink mounting holes look like this then the zalman will fit.

can I check my heatsink mounting holes without removing cooler?
