which would be a better buy?!?!?

7600GS

or better yet, x800GTO and hope you cna unlock pipelines...

Woah woah woah. Id look into some of the the 7300gts before even considering any 7600GS.:stick:

Eight pipelines versus 12 pipelines.
128mb (albeit DDR3) versus 256mb
Some crappy (and loud) fan versus my Silent Pipe II

I'd go with the 7600GS. Hell, it could be possible to unlock four pipes on the GS. And with the silent pipe system I'm sitting cool at 61.5 degrees. The 7600GS also consumes less power I believe, which was kind of a big concern for me.
