Mid-range agp cards?

I just ordered a 7600GS myself.

Unlike some of y'all searching for the MAX SPEED without regard to anything else but cost, I want a silent-running rig.

Sure I could get an X800XGLDYE++ or something in there and run it overclocked and have 3 fans pointing at it to keep it cool. I don't like living next to loud machinery anymore.

The 7600GS is only a bit more powerful than the old 6600GT. However it puts out a LOT less heat, the smaller die means according to the data it's only 27 Watts of heat. So I can cool it with just a Zalman ZM80D unit and no fans.

It'll be a big jump from the 9600Pro I am running now I think.
 
I'm thinking I'll wait a week, and see if the AIW x800xt comes back in stock, because I can do the "trade up" program, making it cost like $119+tax, shipping.

I just hope that the x800xl doesn't go out of stock before the x800xt comes back or I'll be pissed :p
