Yes... Render is right with Sharath being more right. 7600 is the way to go. If they have a GT model, that's the one to buy. If that is too expensive, I recommend this X850 Crossfire for $139 direct from ATI. MUCH better performance/dollar than any 6600GT and probably even the 7600GT. And if that still is too expensive, well, get a job... JK
 Actually in that case, then just buy pretty much any ole bargain bin card you can find and suck it up.But as I said Render is right on. The performance that you would get out of a X1300 512MB card is marginal at best. But infinitely better than onboard graphics. And stop looking at Futureshop. Jam it back in, in the dark. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

Listen, the reason I recommended the X850 Crossfire Card, is that it is a 16 pixel-pipeline card while every other card you have linked is a 12 pixel-pipe card. Now pixel-pipes dont mean everything, but comparing a X850 Crossfire to a X1600 PRO is absurd. The X800GTO is also a 12 pixel-pipe card too. And not as good as the one I linked. We can go round this all day, but that honestly is a much better buy than anything in the same price bracket!

Did you receive an invoice? like through email or something? They have a very limited supply of the products listed on there refurb/clearance section, so I suspect they sold out of this card. Who knows, you might have bought the last one  . If they did send you a receipt/invoice then you should have nothing to worry about.This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

This would do nicely if you are looking for cheap @ $119
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102688 Otherwise, this X1900XTX @ $340 is a steal as well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...o+Card+%2D+OEM If you insist on going green, here is a 7900GT @ $265 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150144 I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)
