Hahaha, I don't know why that was as funny as it was.

"My iron won't work."

"Is it plugged in?"

Alrighty, its a late night. No harm intended, I just got a kick out of that for a bit. cs chris, I am going to assume that by your signature, you aren't looking to snag an old card to fix up an old build. That means that you are looking for PCI Express. Make sure that this interface is what you are looking for before you buy.

Lucky for you, cards in that range are perfect placeholders until the newer technology (DirectX 10, namely) becomes mainstream. Look at the 7600GS and GT from nVidia. ATi experts will have to help you out there. Hope that makes sense.

Not a prob. Looks like you went with the 7600GT. Good choice.
