don't quote riva tuner warnings directly ,although pipeline unlocking may be dangerous but as of what I have read on the net there have been no negative instances so far in the case of 6200.Moreover since the guy does not have an agp version on which the above can be done so no point discussing this further.
Its not like that ! Not all 6200s can be pipeline unlocked.It was possible in some versions as nvidia used some downgraded 6600 core chips to meet the upsurged demand of 6200 early on.But now the newer cores comes with only 4 pipelines so theres is nothing to unlock.
Anyway if the card has a NV43 core with A1 or A2 revision it can be pipeline unlocked and witha bit of overclocking it will be same as vanilla 6600
On the other hand 6200 non tc has a huge overclok potential.Its a very good overclocker indeed.I used riva tuner and got a stable 425/625 in my sparkle 6200 ultra (normal was 350/533) with no cooling.Bosost in games was apprx 15% although it was still not enough for neo-modern games..it can hardly run it bit its still pretty good for running vista
---------------
Although overclocking in 6200 is softlocked in all latest nvidia drivers I think.I have to used an old 84.xx driver just for the sake of overclocking in xp. For vista Driver 100.xx overclocked beautifully but form 15x.xx series its again softlocked.Eevn 1 mhz increase is stalling my system So I am sticking with the older driver.
You can use those omega/ngo drivers though,I think they are modified to remove the soft lock but cant confirm abt that
And By the way if your card is 6200 turbo cache...then JUST FORGET OVERCLOCKING....sell your card and get a 7200/7300gs +peace of mind
