Why? because I thought about it and I don't believe that I'll be buying a new system for aleast a year and a half. One of the biggest issues for me is money and as long as I can get semi- decent game play out of my system, I'll be more then content with my current specs (which are:)

AMD Athlon XP2600+ (running @ 2.0ghz)
Abit NF7-S (Nforce 2 Board)
1Gb Dual Channel Samsung Branded PC3200 DDR333
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256mb 580M
40gbX2 Maxtor 7200RPM SATA drives
Pioneer 16x DVR+/-RW DL

What do you all think? Personally I think I'll be good for most of new games that are out and coming out. I choose to go with getting a 7600 GT because I couldn't justify spending more then $200 bucks on upgrading anything in my system. Everything works fine as it is now and nothing I could upgrade to would make an incredible difference in my daily computing experience. The next big thing I'll probably do is upgrade my hard drives to two faster SATA drives ( the Seagate 250gb seem pretty sweet).

With XFX it seems like there are multiple versions of the 7600GT. There is a model with the part number UDF-3A and it apparently the core clock speed is only 560 Mhz, but the UDE-3A model has a core clock speed of 580 Mhz and can be OCed to about 624 Mhz~

price for it? cause if you spent over 180$ you should have gotten a 8600.

for that price I would have gotten the 7900 GS or better yet 8600 GTS

My guess is he's talking Canadian money. If that's the case then he's not getting burned.

By the way, terrancelam, long time no see! Welcome home!
