I received an iMac with the 2.16 core 2 duo that has a failed 7600gt video card (I believe it isn't the 7300) and would like to replace it. Here i found a replacement for $250 and would like to know if anyone has had success with installing this.

What were the reasons why this card failed? I had a friend come over with this same exact model and we replaced his thermal paste since he was experiencing artifacts while running under full load after 10 minutes. Maybe a heat issue overtime?
