Vid card choices

[StressedActor]

Ok, I recently rebuilt to an opteron 165, 1GB ram, etc. but waited on the video card.

Now I'm ready to upgrade, Oblivion being a good reason, and I'm finally graduating so I'll have some time to play it too!!!

I haven't kept up on video card comparisons recently so I'm a little behind.

I saw a X850XT for ~150 at the Egg.
Also 7600GTs 580Mhz core/1500Mhz mem clock for ~180-190 from eVGA and XFX

I don't know too much about ATI's X1800/1900 lines either.
Any recommendations are welcome at ~$200 price point.

Thanks

I was also wondering if the 7600 GT was better than the x850xt- I have not found any benchmark comparisons. At 200$, the 7600 GT is the best you can get, unless the x850xt is better. Anybody know about this?
