Will this work?

[Cian97]

Hello I would like answers to question I am wondering if I can run a nvidia 6200 256mb with a 250 watt psu I am using a p4 with 2 gig of ram and windows xp the card is a pci normal not express. The next question is if I can't run the 6200 what's the next best option? A pci (not express) that works with a standard dell 250 watt psu. I won't but a new pus sp doint suggest it please. Thank you in advance

does your mobo have an AGP slot? if so then the you'll do better with an ATI 4xxx series

if you've only got PCI to play with then yes, a 6200 is pretty much good as it'll get.

Thanks I'm pci but I'm more wondering will it work?

a PCI nvidia 6200 is likely PCI v2.1, as long as your mobo's PCI slots are also v2.1 then yes it will work (most likely it is)
also yes on the wattage, a 250w PSU is enough for a 6200 GPU in a typical pentium 4 system.
