GeForce 6200OC Video Card, 8x AGP, 256MB DDR

[BATOSI]

Anybody know how good this card is GeForce 6200OC Video Card, 8x AGP, 256MB DDR http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...pe=ts#moreinfo

I need a new budget card, my second Geforce 5200FX just failed, probably the same reason the first one failed.

I keep my computer on at all times so i guess it just overheated beyond what it could handle.

Im thinking about the GeForce 6200OC Video Card, 8x AGP, 256MB DDR for three main reasons, it should be better then the 5200FX, It only needs 250W power supply (thats what I have, and dell's are not easy to mess with, darn propietary crap), and it has a fan (or at least I think it does)

Are there any other budget cards that meets these requirments, and does anyone play BF2 using this card?

For the 6200 at bestbuy you could get a 6600gt 128mb agp 8x for the same price and a million times better of a card.

Good choice. 2nd that.

Don't buy from the box stores. They would put fire stripes on a Hercules 2mb VGA card, put a few "X"'s and "T"'s behind it and stick it on the shelf until someone buys it for $140 thinking they're getting one-of-a-kind (and, in a way, they are) deal.

The rebates are the only thing that ever make the chain stores worth looking at.

Not the only thing. If you need a known good component to test with then return, then they come in handy

So if this will work on 250 watts why does it say 300 watts minimum, and will this card drain power from my other devices, like my two hard drives?
