The new 7600gt - 189.99

This is a fantastic card that actually keeps up with the 7800gtx at 800x600 and just looses a few fps on the higher rez apps.

Actually we had a large discussion about that exact card when I was on XxxX's TS server. From what I understand, the card isn't that bad. They say the 7800 is still the better buy for the money. However everyone thought it performs well for being a budget graphics card.

Agreed. Ati was sorely lacking in the performance/price are for the last 2 yrs but there back in the game. And, the image quality is superb. I looked at wow on my inlaws 9600xt over the weekend and it looks much better than my 7800gtx.
