Will Xfx 6200 support my config

[rameshpid]

hi

My system config is

Intel 845GBV motherboard with 4XAGP slot
Pentium 1.7 GHZ processor
256MB DDR RAM
300W PSU

I want to know whether XFX Geforce 6200( Not going to buy geforce 6600) will support my board or not??
Is it necessary to change my PSU to 400W.

Cheers ,
Ramesh

It is always the other way around man (we always look if the motherboard support the gfx card or not). Anyhow if the 6200 gfx card is 4x/8x compatible then it will surely work and I don't think that u need 400w to run ur current config. with 6200. But 350W would be good to be on safe side.

I have:
P4 3.0GHz prescott
865gbf mainboard
1GB ddr ram
80gb PATA HDD
XFX 6600GT 128mb
I have Powersafe 400W psu and everything works fine.

I dont think there are many 6200 4xagp models. You must go for for a mobo upgrade or buy lower models . I guess sparkle manufactures 6200 agp 4x cards . Do check that

agp 8x is backwards compatible with agp 4x so dont worry even if u buy an 8x card .. the only issue u might face is with the power supply , if u face problems such as frequent restarts and system instability after installing the card upgrade to a better psu (min 400 watts).

I have a 6200 8x 256MB XFX brand, with A64 2800+,MSI K8Neo Mobo.It did not take in the bios for uknown reasons .Its the most uptodate BIOS and it only works using the "Fail Safe Mode" option.I dont have a solution to the problem.But i have changed all the settings to high ,but whenever i choose "Optimal Settings" it hangs in the BIOS screen.

P.S. I am not a newbie.
