This review is from: XFX PVT44AWANG GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card (VGA/DVI/S-Video) (Personal Computers)
Great card for the money. The price dropped for 7 dollars (without the rebate) a day after I bought it. Installed flawlessly on my 4 years old Dell 4600 with 2.8 GHz P4, 1 gig ram, and 250 Watts psu. It runs at full speed (AGP 8x speed on my PC). I believe it can also run on 4x if you do not have 8x on your computer. For those of you who is using a Dell with an integrated graphics card like me, make sure that you COMPLETELY delete the original graphics driver AND the driver installation files in C:/dell/drivers. I didn't delete the files in "dell/drivers" the first time I installed this new card, and the old integrated card automatically reinstalled itself after the reboot. As the result, I kept getting the blue screen of death during start ups. So I was forced to delete the drivers while I was in safe mode and start everything all over again. BTW, if you are not connecting this card to a TV, which I assume would be fairly complicated, I highly recommend you to skip the...Read more

I was looking for a cheap video card that would let my girlfriend play World of Warcraft on her 6 year old 1.6GHz P4. Knowing that I'll be building her a new computer soon, I just wanted to get the job done. This card fits the bill. Without any in-game tuning (using the video setting defaults) she is able to play without too much interuption or skipping. (When she gets in a city it gets pretty bad though.) The card worked right out of the box. Windows XP SP2 didn't have native drivers, and the ones on the CD were very old, but a download from NVidia's website and it was up and running quick. This model is fanless, which is nice, because there are less moving parts to fail. All in all, I got exactly what I expected for $57, and few headaches. I also like the nice small boxes video cards come in now (most software titles too), gone are the days of having to pay extra shipping or store mammoth boxes for small items.

XFX GeForce 6200 256MB Video Card,

I bought this card so I could run dual monitors, I have an older 21" CRT and just bought a new Hanns G 22" TFT (I Love it, reviewed seperatly). I was a little concerned because there was another reviewer that mentioned something about power requirements and I couldn't find any information about it online. In fine print on the box it mentions a minimum 250W power supply if you have "a number of other internal devices installed" I installed it on a Dell Dimension 8250 and it was super easy, I did read the instructions, they said to uninstall the old drivers before removing and installing the new card. I did that and it booted up fine, new drivers installed easily and the dual monitors work perfectly. I don't play games so I can't comment on that aspect of it but the setup of dual monitors was fast and easy.
