Well, I'm thinking about my videocard. I currently have this one: Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N541-T2 GeForce 7600GS 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail (got it because it was fairly cheap, and I just needed something to get me off of my 64MB integrated).

Which of these cards would most likely be better?

Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card - Retail
Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N636-AR GeForce 7950GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

I can still go through the Step-Up program through EVGA, so it'd be cheaper than the retail cost, but I was just wondering which of those would be a better upgrade for the price from my previous card?

My other specs are in my sig. Thanks for any help guys, I appreciate it =).
 
i would personally take a 7900gs and oc' it to gt speeds:

from 500 to 550 and from 1380 to 1400

there are 4 more pipelines in the GT but would u pay 50$ extra for it?
 
Well, I just looked on EVGA's site.. and they're backordered on the 7900...and they must not carry the 7950 in 256MB anymore, lol. I'd have to go up to 512MB for that, but I don't think my system really needs THAT much. Since I just have kind of a budget system right now.
