I'd have to check to be sure but I *think* it's an MSI (the 8600). It was my 
experience that in equal boxes the 7900GS is a better performing card over 
the 8600GT. You get DX10 with the 8 series but for raw power and oomph, the 
7900GS was the clear winner. Not to mention it overclocks like a madman, 
which I hadn't even done yet.

If I still had it you would be welcome to it. I gave it away after a bit. If 
it werent for the occasinal Crysis and Gears play I'd have swapped back and 
kept the 79. Best card for the money I've ever had.
