Pros: It was so easy to change my old video card for this one! The instructions told me just what to do and I'm not a computer techie by any means. from Newegg.com Pros: QualityStill availableCheap enoughDVIComponent video output adaptor Cons: No free software/games Other Thoughts: I had an older PC that I put Windows 7 Home Premium on and all went well except for video. Win 7 does not support ATI radeon 9000. from Newegg.com I don't know much. I can switch some hard drives from masters to slaves, add memory, just your basic run of the mill stuff when it comes to the inside of a computer. I'm learning as I go so I figured this would be the perfect oppurtunity to try and fix an old cpu running an integrated 32mb video card I was given. My motherboard had 3 pci and one agp slot. from Amazon.com Pros: DVI, multiple displays, works the way it should work. Dont get this for gaming, unless you want to play low end games or older games (half life, 100 fps on counter strike 1.6) Its good for whoever needs a low end dvi agp video card and it does what it says. Cons: once after a few hours using it, it makes the system restart but im not trying to fix it because im letting my system die and getting a newer system. from Newegg.com Pros: Very good quality images and video. Perfect for Windows 7 in an older computer. from Newegg.com THIS IS MY SECOND PNY 6200 VIDEO CARD.. THE FIRST CONSTANTLY CRASHED WINDOWS VISTA 64 BIT.. from Amazon.com This PNY GeForce 6200 is a great graphics card for the money. I bought it to replace an older GeForce 5200 card, that came in my Dell Inspirion tower, that had gone out on me. from Amazon.com Pros: Hardware Installed in a few minutes and I went to the Nvidia site for the latest drivers (dated 08/17/09) that also installed without a problem. Cons: If you need to use the low profile brackets and want both DVI and D-SUB connectors you'll need an open PCI slot; next to the AGP slot for the extra bracket that holds the D-SUB connector. Other Thoughts: The card went in a Dell GX270 Small Desktop. from Newegg.com I had to upgrade my XP Pro PC to Vista since it wouldn't boot with the Norton Internet Security 2009 upgrade I had recently installed on it. The PC feeds four monitors and none of my existing graphics cards were Vista compatible. I bought two of the PCI 5200 cards (PNY VCGFX522PEB GeForce FX 5200 256MB)and the AGP 6200 card (PNY VCG62256AEB GeForce 6200 256MB DDR 64-bit). Since each of these cards has dual outputs, I can actually run six monitors now. from Amazon.com I managed it to run games like Half-Life 2, Garry's Mod, Battlefield 2, even STALKER: Shadow Of Chernobyl at Low-Medium Settings at 1024x768 and pull out around 20-40FPS, which for a card that was $60 at the time, is pretty awesome. I was also running it under a 305watt psu, just fine for 2 years. Cons: After having it for two years (note that this has happened to EVERY AGP card I've owned) after the computer failed and stopped posting (roughly 7 years into its life, RIP) last March, I was unable to remove the card completely. Part of the card comes out of the AGP slot, but the rest seems to be heat-welded to the board. from Newegg.com
