Go for the evga. It has a faster memory clock.

Actually why don't you go for this evga 7600GT. It cost almost the same as that 7600GS, and it's better:

look at that memory clock 1050 mgz would that be better than the other 2 i was looking at ???

 

[BiGyLiLuPdAmIdL]

Perhaps the best agp card, 7800gs, just dropeed alot, it used ot be near 300 when it first came out, now its only like $150 aroudn different places. Try to find an x850xt agp in the newegg open box section, it will definitely be the best value.

 

[soulafien]

reply

only a 300w psu

says minimum 350watt for 7600 gs

wonder if i can squeek by???on only 300?

 

[BiGyLiLuPdAmIdL]

Ya you can see my system in my sig, my videocard says reccomended 450wat psu, but mine is only 350 and it runs fine, I get no problems at all with my pc.

 

[schulz269]

one area you don't wanna leak on is the PSU. I would actually upgrade your psu. You might be fine running a 300W psu however do you really wanna take the chance?
