Just looking at the OC shop for a 7600GT, wondered if there's a better option from these 3 or if it's best just to go by spec? I'd really pick out the one with the most effective, quietest heat dissipation setup, all other things being equal. But I wouldn't say no to taking the cheapest either ;)

Choices are:
Leadtek, £140 from OC, 560mhz and 1400mhz
BFG OC, £159 from OC, 580 and 1450
XFX XXX, £165 from OC, 590and 1600
There's a vanilla XFX on there, 560 and 1400 like the Leadtek, but currently not in stock.£140.

Not an awful lot of price difference... Obviously the XXX has the big numbers, but it's luck of the draw which overclocks best. Any advice? The sooner I can get this Radeon X300 out of this box, the better...
 
I think the £25 difference is better spent on a Zalman cooler. I can get well over 600 mhz on my core and 1600 on mr ram. The ram isn't better or anything, it's just "selected" when you go for a XXX. My opinion is to get the cheapest one you can.

Also with the Leadtek you get Serious Sam 2 and Trackmania Nations free with it - decent bundle imo.
