6200 AGP is a 64bit card which means it'll be really slow in games. Either get a 6600 vanilla or better still get a Radeon X1300 Pro.

in 6K budget u should be able to get 6600 plain (non gt ) which is better performer adn if u can increase a bit go for 6600GT best to play lastest games adn some few other future games ;)

If u really wanna get a 6200 Go for the NON TC version ! otherwise 6600 Vanilla will DO !

going for the 6200 is okay provided you play games ocassionally as this card is only an entry level one. its better to opt for the 6600 a better option.

Mr. Unreal, if you consider like that, than the holy 7800GTX which is called as "for UT 2007" will die when the almighty Crysis will release.
Do you know in their official testing they have found that even 2 Sli 7800GTX were giving only 10 -16 FPS in Crysis.

^^The crysis E3 demos were all DX9 and running on an X1900XT. So its not that demanding either.

Well .. about Ut2007 and Crysis .. they should run pretty well on the 6600 as long as u keep 4x aa and HDr away ..

bit expensive!!!!!!!!! , lol

that guy was asking for a 6200 , that gives the idea of the budget he has in mind for a graphic card , suggesting him 6600 is ok but what in the world made u think that he wud like to jump from a 6200 to a 7900GTX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I meant Nvidia .. for AGP.
No x800 = 6600
x1300pro is much better
