No it's not!
The GF7600GT is the GT, the GS is the GS, and the GS is grap compared to the GT. Your statement is like saying the GF7800GT is the same as the GF7900GTO.
Seriously, if you don't know, don't post just to increase your post count. 
To the OP: the GF7600GT as has been mentioned is in extremely short supply.
The GF7600GSs are out there, but they suck in comparison, they're X1600 territory losing to an X1650, not X850 territory like the GT. And... at that point you might as well look to the rest of your machine for an upgrade.
Places like NCIX still have them listed, but they are special order;

Ya always gotta be one step better huh. 
I actually didn't even realize that was the same site as your Leadtek link. I stumbled upon it during some rigorous Googling. I was just surprised as that's the first XFX AGP 7600GT I've seen besides XFX's product pages. Should be popping up soon I'd think.

Major TRUE!

The X1650Pro is essentially a X1600XT. With that being said, the 7600GT and X800XT are a lot better. If you take a look on the VGA Charts, the 7600GT is a lot better. The X800XT is better than the 7600GT , but it is hard to find.
Note: the above is PCI-Express although the X800XT outperforms both anyway
Hope that helps

agreed. For $130 and AGP you get VIVO and the opportunity to unlock pipelines (actually flash BIOS) to an X850XT. And proceed to overclock. It is a great deal!
but you only get shader model 2.

Yes, but sm3.0 is only worth it if the card is powerful enough to fully utilize it. IMO, anything below a 7600GT isn't worth buying just for that feature. So, if you must buy now, and can't wait for the GT's to come back in stock, that X850pro would be a better buy than say a 7600GS.

but it is not definite he will get a card with unlockable pipelines
x800xt on ebay is the way to go
LOL! Yes, I know, not approving the way you said it (implying you need another card, yeah right! 
) just the sentiment that it's the wise choise, but the X8xxs remain attractive due to price.
I guess I'm just not keeping up with the news (school is quite busy) 
Anyways, $200 seems too pricey for a 7600GT XXX, especially considering that the 7800GS OC by BFG is only $10 more on Newegg.com (after MIR). It is a very good performer, however, I don't think you should spend too much money on an AGP card. Not worth it IMO, you'll be upgrading to a new platform anyway.
As for the X800XT being more expensive than the AIW version, as Paul said, it's all about price and demand. If people demand more of the regular version, then supply goes down and prices go up. And since demand is low for the AIW, the price falls because the retailers have to get rid of inventory.
Unlocking might not work right. If it doesn't work, you can always flash back to the original BIOS. Sometimes it is successful but there are damaged pipelines so the picture is jumbled. If successful, it will perform as an X850XT, which is comparable to the 7600GT. (LOL 
I'm actually registered at that site! I love the site. Great info! 
)
The 7600GT is a great card, however the X8x0 series prices are so tempting! Though they don't have SM2.0 (which IMO doesn't matter that much) the series has much raw horsepower and can power most current games (at certain resolutions)
The X850Pro for $130 beats everything in that price range (for AGP), a bump up would be the X800XT AIW for $160 (It outperforms the 7600GT in most games according to the VGA charts). Though the 7600GT is great too! Sm3.0 support, enough power, quiet, power sipping, video card! If you can fork over enough for a 7600GT, go for it! Though I believe the X850Pro and X800XT to be equally good choices
Thankyou all for your help. One last question. which is better performance wise x850 pro or x800 xt.
