I was on futuremark and people were claiming to have a soft mod to do this. thread link. I tried it myself and it actually worked! My radeon 9700 pro is now being see as a 9800 pro and I got some increases in benchmarks.
Here's some instructions- "Double click the CAT 3.2 installer. Next choose a folder for it to unpack the files to. After it unpacks, the driver installer will run...Just cancel it. Next download The patch and install it in the directory \2KXP_INF\B_08037 of the drivers you unpacked. Make sure to delete the one that was already in there. The file you are putting in is ati2mtag.SYS and the file you are replacing is ati2mtag.SYS. So you will still need to delete the original ati2mtag.sys. Once you have the file copied into the right directory, go to device manager and doubleclick the name of your display adapter. Next choose update driver. Uncheck search for better driver and check Specify location. Now click on Have Disk. Choose the directory you unpacked to and unselect the box that says show compatible hardware. Now choose 9800pro off the list. Ta da.... "-intelrullz

Don't be expecting huge increases though.
