What is the difference between the 7600GT and the 7600GS. Whenever I look at them on newegg I cant really tell the difference. Im just curious as to what the difference is.

The only difference is core and memory clock speeds. The 7600GS usually uses slower/cheaper GDDR2 memory compared to the higher clocked /more expensive GDDR3 found in the GT.

Reference 7600GT's are clocked 560MHz core / 700(1400)MHz memory
Reference 7600GS's are clocked 400MHz core / 400(800)MHz memory
