nvidia 7600GS versus nvidia GEFORCE 9800GT

Ron2

My current computer with windows 7 OS dual intel processor and 4GB ram has an nvidia 7600 GS graphics card.

I have the option to get, for free, an nvidia GEFORCE 9800GT graphics card.

Should I take it?

Yes.

Using 3DMark06 for comparison the former benchmarks a score of ca. 5,000 and the latter ca. 20,000 so you should see a massive improvement in gaming.

so long as your PSU can take the load then go for it, the 9800gt is a lot more powerful than the 7600gs however will more than likely require a further power connection to be able to run

Yes it does, and I don't have one.

Can I get some sort of adapter, 6 pin plug?

Spank

Yep

Offtopic, whenever something is FREE, you should always accept it regardless if it's good or bad

Not if you have to spend money to get it to work.

There is also a little white 2 pin socket on the nvidia GEFORCE 9800GT graphics card, does this need a connector as well?

SPDIF audio connector.
