Galaxy go silent and drop 7600 GS onto AGP

Following on from recent news that Galaxy were preparing a same-board dual 7600 GT SKU, news filters in about a few more products from the growing NVIDIA AIB partner. The first two are completely passive versions of 7300 GT and 7600 GS, using Arctic Cooling sinks.

Two-slot and requiring decent in-chassis airflow, the silent low-end and mid-range GeForce 7-series SKUs sit on PCI Express and provide up to 512MiB of memory (7600 GS variant, using GDDR2). Prices aren't known, but both come clocked at 400/400. Pics follow.







The third product on its way is 7600 GS. On AGP. Rumours about NVIDIA officially releasing 7600 GS on AGP have filtered past HEXUS ears in recent times, and Galaxy's attempt seems decent vindication of said rumours, don't you think?

Using NVIDIA's PCIe-to-AGP bridge IC, the Galaxy GeForce 7600 GS AGP comes clocked at 400/400 (DDR2 memories, up to 512MiB depending on version).






More on pricing and availability for all three when we get it.

does anyone have any ball-park guesses as to how much one of these might set me back?

Yes
I'd love the price of the 7600GS, and opinions if it would extend the life of my current PC just that little bit more
(Shuttle 95G/FX55Sandy/2Gb/6800GT).

Obviously im not expecting fantastic framerate increases, just a way of adding the features of the PCIE cards to the older AGP interface.
that heatsink looks like it weighs more than my PC
