Hi There
I dont know if this is the proper place to ask this but I recently installed Windows Vista, I have a Pentium 4 2.8GB 1GB RAM and a Sapphire Radeon 9250 graphics card. My Windows Expirience Index is 1.0 because of the Card. I want to purchase a Geforce 6200 256MB card, will that help Windows Vista to be faster, is the Geforce 6200 a good card for this. I know that there are many other cards out there but I cant afford to spend 120 or more right know. Thanks Michel |

Michel,
If you can afford close to $120, then go a litle extra and buy a Geforce 7600GT for $130.00. You can find them around this price range on http://www.pricewatch.com. There is no comparison between the Geforce 7600Gt and the 6200 series. In 3DMark06, the 7600GT will give you around 1500 3dmarks. The 6200 won't even break 50 3dmarks. The Geforce 6200 & the Radeon 9200 series are both hopelessly outdated. Here's a benchmark comparison that shows the 7600GT & 6200 scores: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphi...42&char t=224 -- Adam Breidenbaugh Senior Network Administrator Armellini Industries Inc.
