Ok, First things first. My system is a Dell, 2.4GHz Pentium IV with 512 RAM and an AGP slot for video cards. I customized and bought it almost 3 years ago. I originally had a GeForce4 Ti4600 128 graphics card put in which at the time went for about $400. This past month the card died.
I didn't feel like spending another 300-400 bucks on another card but wanted something recent. I have purchased a GeForce 6200 256MB. Spent $150 on it. So far it seems to work OK, but have only tested it on Call of Duty and Tiger Woods 2004. I am going to be looking to play some more recent games, and looking at the hardware charts, there doesn't seem to be alot of info on the 6200. I do realize now however that the 256MB is probably more a gimmick to fool me into believing the card is a little more powerful than it really is.
Will this card hold up, or is it worth trading it back in and spending an extra $50 on a GeForce 6800. (Circuit City is currently offering a $100 rebate on a plain 6800 (128) AGP which brings it from $299 to $199). Thanks for any help.
