7600 and 7900

Well, I was planning on the 7600s being 16 pipe cards clocked at 600mhz or so, and the 7900s being 32 pipe cards clocked at around 700mhz.  The high power of the 7600s and the huge jump to the 7900s would make the 7800s obsolete.  Now I find out that the 7900s are 24 pipe cards at 650mhz and the 7600 is a 12 pipe card at 550mhz, and both cards will be priced pretty high, at least when compared to the 7800s.  The 7600, in fact, should be less powerful, but just as expensive as a 7800gt when it's released, both costing around $250.  Why would anyone want to buy a 7600 then, you ask?  That's a good question, and one I don't plan on finding an answer to, now that I plan on getting a 7800gt to last me until DirectX 10 is implimented into video cards.

Though I might go ahead and switch over to ATI, if they make a card that has a good price/performance ratio, like the 7800gt.
