Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think that a 256-bit interface has twice the memory bandwidth of a 128-bit interface. But the core of the 7600GT is probably high enough to make up for it. Completely your decision, I'm not the greatest out there as far as video cards go, but if it were me building the computer, I'd stick with the 7600GT. I've heard memory amount of video cards doesn't affect performance that much; it's more about the speed of the memory.

Just make sure if you're comparing to set the core and the memory speeds for the 7600GT a little higher to match what you found at newegg (580/750).
My brother is building a computer right now and had pretty much the same issue. He ended up working for a few more days and getting a 7900GT
