    i have to choose between the following passively cooled graphics cards -
    Gigabyte 6600GT Silent Pipe,128MB GDDR3 PCI-Express, Tv-Out, DVI-I
    XFX GeForce 7600GS 256MB DDRII eXtreme

    this pc will be used a pvr and for a little gaming.

    7600GS

    Why;
    7600GS=6600GT in performance
    256MB instead of 128MB
    Enhanced version of Purevideo for dealing with HD content
