New Card

[dougland]

I have a fairly old Compaq that i've put a lot of new parts into, the computer is somewhat of a "sleeper" if you will. Im 18 getting a new computer for college so this is jsut to hold me over for this senior year. its got 6 usb 1.1 ports, 6 usb 2.0 ports, 2 fire wire ports, a samsung combo drive, linux and xp dual boot, 15.4'' megavision lcd, 80gb seagate barracuda hd, and other misc stuff.

Now to the point, i picked up a ASUS Extreme N6200TC GEFORCE 6200 TURBO CACHE video card for $27. I dont game i dont really video edit ( i do some) but i just figured i'd up my card and get the computer upgraded. my questions are

Pros cons?

I had a 6200TC in a computer that I used to get me by until I had time to build one. The card's great for desktop stuff(video editing, any media stuff, etc etc) and can do some light gaming. I had Need For Speed Most Wanted playing at 640x480

Yeah i just picked the card up off ebay for $24 and figured a 256mb card for that price was better than the ATI Radeon Rage 32mb which i had in my mac for $24 as well
