How well does the 7300 GT perform for a casual game?
I play Age of Empires 3 once in a while and was wondering what the performance difference is between the ATI X1600 and the GeForce 7300 GT if any at all.
Thanks.

Assuming you mean the X1600 in the 17 and 20" iMacs:
Very minor. The 7300GT is slightly faster in games from ID (Doom and Quake), otherwise they're pretty much the same.

Great, Thanks.
The X1600 in the iMacs is very sluggish... even more so in the MacBook Pros.
I assumed that being a Mac Pro, the graphics card performance would be better. The only other alternative to the 7300 GT in the Mac Pros is the X1900XT which is a very unstable card, screen tears, overheating.... etc.
Hopefully the next Gen. Mac Pro's will have a better card.

The X1600 in iMacs seems to be downclocked to avoid excessive fan noise - it's a very hot CPU usually.
I haven't heard of the X1900 in the Mac Pro being that unstable, though. I know that it's the hottest thing this side of a Prescott, but the Mac Pro has good cooling.
