6200A-LE on 1.5 GHz P4 system, latest NVIDIA 7 driver. Works well for what it is. Now my main machine (in specs), yeah. That card really is awesome for AGP.

Hei, if only it was so simple :)
I have been through at least half-a-dozen drivers for my 6200 including the one above, but the only driver that works for me is 96.85_forceware_winvista_x86_international_whql.exe ref. another post.
Can't complain though, this is an old DIY system, which looked awful on XP, but really looks and works great on Windows 7 :)

I was just looking around for some cards, but yeah mate, I've unistalled my windows 7 and installed me old and good XP and installed the 185.85 driver and now im thinking about to instal this driver in the windows 7, the only problem that im thinking about is that when i instal the new driver the windows 7 may install the default driver instead of the new.
Yes the FX 5200 worked right out of the box on my old DIY system, but as soon as I upgraded to the latest Nvidia driver, being an old Nvidia fan, I lost the Aero capability.. I purchased a 6200, not many AGP cards around any more it seems, but the 6200 had similar problems with the latest driver, which Windows Update wanted it to use..
Eventually, I came across an old driver 96.85_forceware_winvista_x86_international_whql.exe which works on Aero OK. Search this site and you should turn it up..
So it seems Aero likes certain configurations better than others, but for an old machine, the 6200 will work. I haven't tried the 7600..

Here it is at Nvidia http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winvi..._96.85_uk.html
The other good thing about the 6200 is passive cooling, i.e. no fan noise, which the 7600 would have..

6200 runs with widows se7en onn fresh install. I installed on a friends machine last week which had a 6200LE and it worked upon the first desktop display.
Mine did with an old FX 5200 at first install, but I wanted NVidia, and that is when I found NVidia FX 5200 drivers didn't enable Aero.
So I upgraded to a 6200, which worked fine on the first run with MS driver IIRC, but not with the latest NVidia driver.. thats why I ended up with the 96.85 'Vista driver'.
