new card for 150$

it prob won't be worth it......but if you really want to upgrade either the 7900gs or one of the lower 1900 ati cards.......you could sell the 7600gt for around $80....save a little more and try to find a 8800gts 320mb cheap.
 
x1950pro, 7900GS, or at $170, the x1950XT is what I'd buy at under $200.
 
go with the X1900 AIW over the X1900 GT. The X1900 AIW doesnt have any locked pipes, and uses the same fan. It should overclock decently, and you'll get all the avivo extras too. Heres a page showing you just how much better it is.

edit: the X1900 AIW seems to be discontinued, it can be found at amazon.com but only at amazon.com prices ($240), course theres always Ebay

Take a look perhalps in a couple of bargin bins and on clearance boxes.

I got a X1950GT and it OC's like a beast. I was running 650/800 up from 500/600.
 
hmm... you're in the exact same place I am. I've got a 7600GT, gotta give it to my bro, and I'm willing to spend around 200 dollars. This seems to be the most screwed part of the whole market. nothing is amazing enough to be a hands-down buy, and the 7600GT makes it so that if you want DX10 (I want DX10), you either settle for a card that's just about as fast as yours with new tech, or you settle for a card that's faster but lacks tech.... this reminds me of the 6xxx//7xxx series or X8xx series conundrum :(
