Theres not much point in getting a 512MB card because i doubt it would make any difference. Its just a marketing ploy

$10 more for the 7600gs... DEFINITELY.
you will get a large increase in performance. no doubt. more pipelines, more clocks, only $10 more. go for it.

The 7600GS is indeed a better card, but that's quite expensive for one. eVGA's is $99 (after MIR) on newegg
