A friend is going to replace his ageing ATi 9500 128mb agp
Looking for a good AGP geforce. (main game he plays is City of Heroes and the ATi drivers are really bad for it)
His system is
Athlon 2000xp (1.8ghz 32bit)
2gb ddr memory
Gigabyte 7VKM motherboard
Generic 400w psu
I'm not 100% sure on his budget
Had a look at scan.co.uk best two options I could see were
256MB Palit 7600GT AGP 8x Mem 1400MHz GPU 560MHz 12 Pipes D-Sub/Dual Link DVI/S-Video Fan Cooling £79.77 Inc VAT
or
256MB Palit 7600GS, AGP, Mem 800MHz, GPU 400MHz, 12 Pipes, D-Sub/Dual Link DVI-I/S-Video £70.10 Inc VAT
(and a decent PSU)
What I'm wondering about is what's the cooling like on thoes Palit cards? it looks like a stock heatsink&fan
Any other sugestions?
PS I've pointed him at the XFX 7600GS 512mb @£95 and the XFX 7900GS 256mb @£142
