    dont under any circumstance go with the 6200.it's screwed up if you thing turbocharge would make any difference,first this gpu has 2 version.one is an underclocked 6600 ok with that but another version which has a totally different core altogether and something called turbocharge(pci express only)that uses the systems ram like shared memory device at a higher bandwith.but the overall result isnt impressive.you can consider a geforce 6600 gt 256mbdd2 from newegg for around 170$(might be a bit cheaper than that).but you'll get your money's worth.its an agp version so its good and tried there.dont go with 6200 under any circumstance-try and look around for a geforce 6600(gt/non gt),ati 9800/9600,x300/x500,fx 5600/5700.now these are all older models so they might be priced a bit higher.sorry if a i am confusing you further but the bottomline is a geforce6600 gt with 256 mb ram might stretch your budget for about 15-20$ but it will be worth every penny of it.so go with a 6600 gt than a 6200.

    GET THE 9700! its avialable for 50-80 dollars and blows away the geforce 6200, radoen 9600, 9500, and is comparable to 9800,
