 Very disappointed. Not much better than the 128mb FX-5200 December 23, 2008
I received my GeForce 6200 today and was eager to install it as I just recently signed up with Netflix and wanted to stream movies through my PC (Dell Dimension 3000, upgraded to P4 3.0 with 2GB ram). Prior to the 6200, I had the FX-5200 128mb PCI card. Boy am I so disappointed. With the FX-5200, the Netflix streaming videos was choppy at full screen and tolerable while viewing in a browser. After installing the 6200, the video isn't much better at all, only slightly smoother at regular size, but still choppy at full screen. (By the way, viewing Netflix on Xbox360 is the way to go. So much better than this old PC).
I also ran Novabench benchmark software to get an idea of how the 6200 faired against the FX-5200, and it was marginal at best. I saved several tests months ago when I configured my system with the FX-5200 and compared those with the 6200 installed and with the 6200, overall benchmark score was lower, and in most cases the overall video marks were lower, too.
Example:
Today, 6200 installed:
Graphics Tests (Score: 16)
- Random Lines Drawn/Second: 8444
- Random Shapes Drawn/Second: 2048
07.13.08, FX-5200 installed:
Graphics Tests (Score: 19)
- Random Lines Drawn/Second: 7503
- Random Shapes Drawn/Second: 2151
Pros: none
Cons: Difficult to install. I had to reboot a couple times and log off my profile twice in order for the desktop to appear. I never had this much difficulty with a video card install. The overall performance isn't much better than a 128mb card at half the price. The GeForce 6200 doesn't even come with a fan, while the FX-5200 does!
Good thing I bought this through Wal-Mart online, because this card is going back. I have a old system, yes, and this "upgrade" is not significant enough to say that it made a difference. The FX-5200 was a vast improvement over the on-board video card and was less than $30 eight months ago. Again, I'm very disappointed with this card.
A word to the wise, if you already have a decent 128mb video card in your "old" PC, do not buy this card. Save your money and put that towards your next PC purchase, preferably a Duo-core or Core-2-Duo system. Forget trying to squeeze out more speed from a P4. From what I've read, you won't be doing any good upgrading the motherboard (socket 478) with a PCI-E slot. You'll still be hampered by the P4 processor.
 Graphics Card December 21, 2008
The chip-set on the mother board had failed, the symptom was no red colors on the display. Installing the EVGA 256-P1-N399-LX e-GeForce 6200 256MB DDR PCI Graphics Card purchased from Amazon solved the problem. Installation was simple and quick, helped by written instructions found on the Internet. The card significantly improved the graphics performance of the HP desktop computer.

 Maybe I Was Just Unlucky December 5, 2008
OK maybe I was just unlucky, but let me explain the 2 stars...
I ordered the card, arrived great, etc...
I try installing the card (I disabled the onboard video controller) boot up, install driver, reboot then got a blue screen crash.
BTW, I am no expert but I have installed several cards before.
OK called support after installing Driver Sweeper and a few tricks reinstalled card and got the computer to boot but dual monitor wouldn't work.
It turns out the DVI port was bad and I have 2 digital monitors!
Support told me to send it back (I have to pay shipping and wait who knows how long).
I finally tried using the DVI-VGA converter and it worked in analog mode and now I have dual monitor and it works pretty good (still no DVI)!
OK so it worked, but horrible experience for a factory sealed card.
Also do a google search for problems setting up dual monitor on evga e-geforce 6200 and you will find several complaints...
 Great card, but runs pretty hot November 12, 2008
This card offered a massive performance boost when browsing graphic-intensive websites and offered an enormous performance boost for games over integration. Framerates in Halo jumped from 10-15FPS to 60-70 FPS and textures actually display properly. Framerate in Mabinogi also sees a massive boost from 5-10FPS to about 40-55FPS, which means that I can now play Mabinogi on my old system. Awesome little card for the PCI bus, but the only downside i that the card reaches up to 75C after 30-40 minutes under load, which is pretty ridiculous. I would suggest buying an aftermarket heatsink for it, as the stock cooling solution has a heatsink without a fan, which is what leads to the ridiculous temperatures.
Purchase of the EVGA 256 PCI bus October 24, 2008
This product was easy to install. I needed a new PCI card for my old Dell in order to be able to play SPORES. Well, this did the trick. I did not have any problems whatsoever installing the card. It works great with my 22' LCD monitor.
