Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. I'm looking for an upgrade from my Radeon 9000, but don't want to spend to much since I'll be upgrading my entire system in a year or so. I wouldn't upgrade at all, but I need a video card for my other system, which doesn't have a card at all right now. So, I thought that I would look at the nvidia cards and see what I can get for less than $150.
Thanks!
I bought a nvidia 5200 which as suggested on toms hardware guide is pretty much the same thing as 6200
and it works quite well for $50 bucks.
Plays 3d games flawslessly for me ( fully supported by linux, kinda)
Good luck
Well, I decided to go ahead and get the 6600GT for an extra $60. I'll just have to eat ramen noodles and bologna sandwiches until I get paid again. I just want to get something that's not ATI, since I have to get something anyways. And, the 6600 is what I really wanted anyhow. I just didn't want to spend that much.
