THIS IS MY SECOND PNY 6200 VIDEO CARD.. THE FIRST CONSTANTLY CRASHED WINDOWS VISTA 64 BIT..
SO THEY SENT ME ANOTHER ONE.. SAME PROBLEM, CALLED TECH SUPPORT, THEY GAVE ME A LINK TO UPDATE THE MOTHERBOARD BIOS VIDEO..
THE LINK TURNED OUT TO BE 32 BIT AND WOULD NOT INSTALL.
TECH SUPPORT SEEMS CLUELESS.
SO FAR IT APPEARS I HAVE WAISTED MY MONEY..
EVERYTHING WORKS FINE IN SAFE MODE, BOOT UP, NO PROBLEM UNTIL WINDOWS STARTS, THEN SCREEN GOES BLANK FOR ABOUT 2 MINS, AND THEN THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH SAYING WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAY.. SOMETHING IS SCREWED UP!
GETTING THROUGH TO SOMEONE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. DONT TRY SELECTING ZERO..
THEY FINALLY TOLD ME NO NEED TO CALL BACK, ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM..

I bought this card to replace an aging/failing/overheating Ti4400 in a spare box that I usually run Linux on. I use an older card like this mainly for backwards compatibility testing and general programming usage. Having a dual monitor setup, I use both the VGA output as well as the DVI output.
Upon boot, the outputs never initialized when the LCD was not plugged into the VGA out. Trying a variety of things, I gave up and left the LCD monitor onto the VGA connector. In Linux, this means that the LCD screen is treated as screen #2, so everything opens on screen #1 (on an older CRT) and there is no way to switch it around without the card refusing to listen. The only way I could was to hot-switch the cords around after boot, which is not a good thing to be doing in the first place, and certainly a hassle at the very least.
You’d figure they are just outputs and there shouldn’t be an issue here, but alas there is. Considering the problem is existent on boot does not make this a non-supported-OS type problem. I would suggest trying a different card if you have a dual monitor setup.
Otherwise, the specs of this card is on par with the Ti4400, minus the addition 128 MB of video ram and v3.0 shader support, so the aim of me getting this card wasn’t too much of a let down.

I had an old (2004) Dell Optiplex GX270 that I used occasionally, running XP. I installed Windows 7, but the old GeForce 4 card was not up to Windows Aero. This new PNY card was just the (inexpensive) ticket to bring the graphics performance a bit closer to the present and Windows 7 had a driver for it. This card is probably more than I needed, but hey, the price was right!
It’s nice that it has both DVI and VGA outputs (I used DVI) and it includes a dongle for compoent video output, not that I intend to use them. A DVI to VGA adapter is also included. I can see the appeal of the low-profile brackets to HTPC builders as well. For me, the use of a passive heatsink was a very strong plus as I like my systems silent.
No frills in the box – the CD has just drivers – but I just throw out the games usually included anyway!

My old GeForce MX 200 64MB Graphics Card would freeze video play during both streaming and normal movie files. With this new 256MB card, I haven’t had a problem yet. Installation was easy and it kept my old Compaq 5410US from going to the scrap yard. Highly recommended for computers with the older AGP 4X slot.

I needed a half height AGP8x card for a SFF computer that I am using with my TV to watch TV shows and ‘flix movies over the ‘net. This card with a DVI to HDMI cable works perfectly. It installed easily, worked straight away and displays the full 1080p. I had to adjust the Windoze display DPI setting to get fonts large enough to read from 8 feet away. However, after that I was enjoying streaming TV and movies using an old computer with this card, the aforementioned cable and an audio mini-jack to RCA splitter cable. Streaming 1080p for $40, I am pleased.
