I first tested a sapphires with ATI Radeon 1650Pro chip set and quickly heard that their fans could come from any normal Developer: The thing boomed even simple office work and was absolutely unacceptable. So I grabbed hesitant to this map, because I really wanted a fanless. These things are, however, very rare. This GeForce 7600GT is here in the 3D area not only at least twice as fast as the X1650, but has also virtually inaudible (even if it really gets going)! The only drawbacks, unless you can not ever talk about it: It occupies two slots (the first PCI slot after AGP should anyway if possible never use) and it costs around 30 more. That makes them, but given their performance and low loudness more than offset. For the slowly expiring AGP bus this card is at the price currently a real find.
