thanks for everything.................
 
thanks for the link hunter...but i was thinkng of getting a card within $100....also will there be much difference between a 256 bit and 128 bit memory interface card...as the 7600 is a 128 bit card and x800 are the 256 bit card...

Trust me on this, the extra $20 u spend is worth it. For $119 u get performance not far from 7600 GT performance as this is a factory overclocked card. In this case the 256 bit question does not arise. The x800GT being 256 bit still performed on the same level as the 6600 GT which was 128 bit. And the x800 is not Shader Model 3 Compliant while the 6600 or 7600 is. But if u still must go below 100, consider the X1300 pro or 6600 DDR-2. Don know anything else in the price range which will be worth going for.
 
How in the hell is a 6800XT better then the original cards in the thread techboy :mad:

And if you have to post with in a minutes time kindly edit your post instead of making a new one :mad:
 
Like hunter mentioned, go for the 7600GS as it is best option out there. Spending the additional 20$ is worth it , both in terms of performance and moreover you get PS 3.0 support too.. In the long run , this is your best bet.
@Techboy, The 6800GT is no longer available. Moreover the with the 7600GT retailing for the same price, its much better to go for the 7600GT.
