Good Bang for Buck to get older (PCI plain or the AGP bus version of this card for AGP) motherboards which won't do windows7 to actually DO windows7 including Google Earth! Even if you have the GeForce 6100 chipset on your motherboard, this is still an upgrade to getting your video memory OFF the motherboard and freeing up your RAM. Not going to do WIN7 FAST, but put 2GB RAM on the motherboard, set BIOS to 128-256MB video & initialize AGP first, and off you go. Latest driver is 309.08 and won't update from there anymore. No need to. Don't expect that Win7 computer to do win10 either. Have fun.

This is an excellent card with which to extend the life of an older system which does not have AGP or PCIe. The response, despite it being a PCI based card, is crisp and the colors and details sharp, when playing a medium strength, older 3D Game. I'm not a heavy gamer, so I can't say how this card would respond with the more modern games but judging from my limited testing of this card in that area, I'd say it can hold its own in most newer games provided the rest of the system, (read: processor, and RAM), is reasonably powerful. One caveat: This card's specs state that it needs at least a 350w power supply with a 12v rail @ 18A to power it correctly. I bought this card to install in a Dual Opteron system which I plan to use for Audio/Video editing/rendering. The power supply is a Logisys 650W continuous, 750W peak, with two 12v rails @ 22A each. Two dual core Optys are power hungry to say the least, and account for one 12v rail. A 3 disc SCSI Raid 5 array, raid controller, SATA controller, SATA HDD, Wireless NIC, sound card, and DVD burner, account for the other 12v rail. This card functioned perfectly....right up till the time it required more power to render more graphics. At that time, it pulled too much juice and my power supply's protection circuitry cut in, causing an immediate hard system reset. The same thing happened with a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate. As soon as the desktop came up in Vista, immediate hard reset. After a few of these, and a lot of cursing, I put this card in a much less demanding build I'm doing for a friend, and it ran like a champ. The moral of the story: Make sure you have at least one 12v rail that is available for use exclusively with the video card, or at the very least, don't use this card in a system requiring a lot of the only 12v rail you have available. I would suggest, (and will implement), using a power supply with at least 3 12v rails. That way when this power hungry monster really kicks in, you don't drop off line.Read full review
The PCI (not PCIE) version of the NVIDIA 6200 card is very hard to find but worth the search for older PCs needing a graphics upgrade.

Plays all my Retro XP games great! Much, much better than the Built-In GPU on my Dell 2400. Was surprised to find it was in original shrink wrap. Just need a PCI slot and it's go to go. After install booted up and was immediately ready to setup and go with the Driver CD Disk.
