Not bad at all. What did the two 7600GS's come to?

Together they were $220 of the cost. The GS has DDR2 while the GT has DDR3. I got mine from www.ecollegepc.com.

if you do get a dell, format that drive right away. so much garbage running and installed it just bogs the system down. my hp laptop was almost as bad. why is Lightscribe installed on a computer that doesn't have a lightscribe drive? darn cookie cutter computers.

Not a bad price. The 7600GS is a good card. In SLI you shouldn't have a problem in gaming as you've already stated.

The 7600GT DOES have DDR3 over the 7600GS, yes. But there are much more distinguishing factors that make the 7600GT a faster card. For one, it has much lower latencies on the RAM. It has tighter timings, can overclock much better, and not to mention starts off with much higher core and memory speeds. There is actually a 7600GS offered with DDR3 memory.

I really need to upgrade my current vid card... we just got a new comp, which works decent for almost everything I use it for... but the vid card...
GeForce 6150 LE Graphics
I'm soooo tempted to upgrade it...

I would be too. What kind of gaming do you prefer? There are several affordable cards out there that will more than adequately play what you like. I'm still on a 6600GT and it has no problem playing any game and most on highest settings.

I got it.

However, I recently found out you are in Rochester, and you never even dropped a PM, even though I am less than an hour away.

Tool.
