What r the 7600gt like?
I was thing of getteing the x1800 XT 256mb at only £170
 
The 7600gt is not a bad card by any means but the X1800XT is clearly better. There isn't too much performance difference between socket 939 and AM2 at the moment although AM2 is the socket that future releases will use, that does however mean that it might be a little more untested or unstable.
