AGP graphics cards

Anyone know much about these?
I want to update mine (128 mb geforce fx5200) and I'm looking at either this one
Sapphire ATi Radeon X1550 512MB 550MHz / 400MHz, DDR2, AGP, DVI, Retail - 11104-01-20R - www.microdirect.co.uk
or this one
Gigabyte GF 7600GS 256MB DDR2, 8x AGP, DVI, HDTV Out, Retail with Silent Pipe - GV-N76G256D-RH - www.microdirect.co.uk
The radeon works out at £46.45 and the gigabyte is £56.28.
I'm looking mainly at microdirect cos I can easily get back there in the car if I have any problems! So unless anyone knows of any huge bargains, I probably wouldn't buy one online.
Any advice, thoughts on these two cards would be appreciated.

The X1550 is bascially the old X1300 series re-packaged and is probably the best AGP graphics card for less than £50.

However, the 7600GS is a better card has it has better/higher pipes, shaders and texture units which means better performance and the core clock speed is higher.

The 7600GS is more comparable to the X1650pro card.

For the extra tenner I would get the 7600GS
