Well yesterday I bought a 7500 cause I had to use my raincheck before it expired to get the deal. $200 Canadian ($130 US approx).
Here is my best 3D Mark2K1 score so far with these settings
AMD 1.2pc266 @1.42 (10x @142)
7500 @ 335/490 using ATI 3276 driver

This card is pretty decent for the $$. I think it can break the 5000 pt mark with better cooling. I had a tiny bit of tearing in the benchmark not much though. I have not done a time demo in UT yet but will do.
I am debating whether I will keep or return the card only because I feel my modded 64 DDR vivo is not far behind it. Engine speed yes ram speed not really. I will have to think about how much further this card would go with a crystal orb and ramsinks on it.
The ram runs fairly warm but not too hot too touch therefore I am thinking with a fan blowing on the card and ramsinks plus a crystal orb it should do 330-335 /500 which is pretty damn decent.
I am impressed with the engine clk speed it can obtain, hell default is 290 which is quite high.
