ASUS GeForce 6200 DirectX 9 N6200/TD/128 128MB 64-Bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Pros: Runs flawlessly with Ubuntu and Compiz-Fusion!

Cons: none

Pros: Good budget card. Much better video performance than the integrated video on an i845 chipset. Can play WOW with much better results. I read somewhere that this video chip was aimed towards upgrading from integrated video (mainly intel).

Cons: Mine came with a DVI-D (digital only) port and VGA port. Look up DVI on wikipedia for more info. Cannot use a DVI-to-VGA adapter to get two VGA ports on this card. I didn't notice this before I bought it, oh well.

Overall Review: Use this kit for the low profile bracket (newegg sells it) MA-BK01-LP1K. Made by XFX, but still works.

Pros: This card is a great deal!!! On my last review i failed to say that i am running 2 GB of Kingston Memory. This helps so much!! I play BF2,World of War Craft,Generals, all on med-high settings.

Cons: The only thing wrong with this card is no fan on heat sink. But please read other thoughts for the cheep solution. And it works!!!!!

Overall Review: Remove the stock heat sink and buy the VANTEC CCB-A4P Ball "IceBerq 4 Pro" All-In-One VGA Cooling Kit with Blue LED Lights,Item #: N82E16835110106 or the EVERCOOL EC-VC-RF Ever Lubricate VGA Item #: N82E16835119079, these two items can be found on NewEgg. They work so good with this upgrade that i have added two more to my shopping cart! NewEgg Rocks!!!!

Pros: This is a great video card, with a good range of resolutions. Great bang for the buck.

Cons: Asus's website claims to have a Windows64bit drive available on their website, I checked before purchasing the card. After I finally got Windows XP 64bit edition loaded and tried loading the driver off of their website the only resolution I could get after that was 640x480 @ 4bit :(. The driver’s disk is useless with 64bit Windows all of the drivers on there are 32 bit. What you must do is go to NVIDIA’s site direct NOT Asus and download the newest version drivers. Direct link can be found here. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_81.98.html

Overall Review: If for some reason the link above doesn't work, go to www.ndvidia.com and follow these steps. 1) Click Download Drivers 2) Click Graphics Driver from the list 3) Click GeForce and TNT2 4) Click Windows XP Professional x64 Edition 5) Click GO Now download the drivers available there and once you install that you should be good to go.

Pros: Let's be honest, this is not meant to be some crazy video card. I mainly bought it so that I can eventually upgrade to an LCD (w/ DVI connector). For normal use (MS Office, Internet, etc.) the display output on this card is great... very sharp/vibrant colors. DVD viewing is very good as well.

Cons: A little weak in the game department. I'm a fan of SimCity 4, and the card works great until the city becomes very populated and has a ton of simultaneous animations displaying.

Pros: Bought for my sons older Dell Dimension 4300 with a 2x/4x slot and a 250PSU...Works perfectly for the games he plays, Also was able to enable Aero in Vista. with it.

Cons: Scores a 2 on Vista if that matters to anyone

Overall Review: Good card for cheap if you have an older system.

Pros: Worked out of the box on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy). The windowing system came up in "compatibility" mode and I was able to set the resolution and enable the nvidia binary drivers. I rebooted and it worked beautifully.

Cons: Can't do demanding 3D

Pros: I've read mix reviews from people like me who have an older P4 with a 2x/4x AGP slot. I wanted to run XGL/Beryl on FC6/Fedora 7 and my old video card wouldn't cut it. I noticed another reviewer here mentioned that this card worked in a 2x/4x slot. So the question was would it work in my similar mobo *and* with XGL/Beryl IT DOES! I get 730 fps in glxgears and have all the desktop effects running.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: You'll need to d/l the latest drivers from the nvidia website to use with Linux/XGL/Beryl.
