5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!!!, March 3, 2009

This review is from: PNY VCG62256AEB GeForce 6200 256MB DDR 64-bit DVI+ VGA AGP Graphics Card - Retail (Personal Computers)

I was so pleased after ordering several other video cards trying to get one that was low profile for my slimline 1/2 height desktop. This one wasn't explicitly labeled for use in low profile, but not only did it fit, it came with the low profile split brackets, adapters, s-video and component converters......absolutely everything I needed. My agp factor was not easy to find a card for and this card is awesome considering the limitations of AGP. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a low profile AGP card to try this one.......it is PERFECT!!

I had an old (2004) Dell Optiplex GX270 that I used occasionally, running XP. I installed Windows 7, but the old GeForce 4 card was not up to Windows Aero. This new PNY card was just the (inexpensive) ticket to bring the graphics performance a bit closer to the present and Windows 7 had a driver for it. This card is probably more than I needed, but hey, the price was right!

It's nice that it has both DVI and VGA outputs (I used DVI) and it includes a dongle for compoent video output, not that I intend to use them. A DVI to VGA adapter is also included. I can see the appeal of the low-profile brackets to HTPC builders as well. For me, the use of a passive heatsink was a very strong plus as I like my systems silent.

No frills in the box - the CD has just drivers - but I just throw out the games usually included anyway!

My old GeForce MX 200 64MB Graphics Card would freeze video play during both streaming and normal movie files. With this new 256MB card, I haven't had a problem yet. Installation was easy and it kept my old Compaq 5410US from going to the scrap yard. Highly recommended for computers with the older AGP 4X slot.
