The upgrade will not be that significant and probably disappointing if that 512Mb is just ddr2. Better consider the ATI HD 2600XT.

Or sell your 7600GT and add that to your cash to buy the ATI HD 3850.

for an xtra 50 bucks you could get a 8600gts sc, which is much better than the 2 listed........if ya go w/ a evga card, you could use the step up program also, to get a better card after 3 months.........just a suggestion.........good luck.........

The hundred dollar price difference is a lot. I would go for it.
