XFX GeForce 6200 - worth getting for $40?

[ajw]

This is on sale at TigerDirect (it's fanless, too) - is it worth getting?

Should I look for a different card? I don't have the budget to upgrade much at this time, and I'm not really willing to spend $100+ on a video card anyway unless it was *really* *really* worth it (especially since the one I'm using used to work fine, except the image wasn't as good as my wife would like...)


They also have a PCI Express card (which I can't use, but since it's also $40 after rebate, I'll mention it for those who can...)

I have the XFX geForce 6200 AGP and I love it.
Look around, you may find a $10 rebate on this card to bring the price down to $30. That what I paid for mine.

I use this card in my own personal desktop as well as my kids' desktops. I love these low profile XFX cards, they are cheap, quiet and reliable. In my HTPC I went for something a bit more powerful though, the XFX7950GT.

Thanks for your comments, kbeyondtv and samundsen - I ordered the XFX GeForce 6200 today. I did look a bit and didn't see anything more powerful for the same range so I stayed with it. I did find it at techforless.com for a few dollars less and didn't have to mess with Tiger's $10 rebate.
