its a budget board but it will do well for what hes going to be doing

What is the difference between the 7600GT and GS?

What is the difference between the 7600GT and GS?

A GT is the overclocked version of the GS. In the 7600's case, the GS uses DDR2 memory, while the GT uses GDDR3 memory.

pretty much it...

And what in the heck is the difference between GDDR2 and 3 memory?

And what in the heck is the difference between GDDR2 and 3 memory?

GDDR3 consumes less power and produces less heat than DDR2, so it allowed for higher speed memory clocking.
