[Pc_Support] PCI-Express: Geforce 6200 vs 6600, 128mb vs 256mb?

Earlier this year when I was building a new machine the 6200 was the only
realistic low-end PCI-Express card.  As mentioned previously, that card 
died on
me so my refund money is now able to cover the cost of the faster card. 
  There's
very little difference, price-wise, between the 6200 and 6600 today.  The only
I'm currently looking at, by Gigabyte, is also able to output HDTV, further
improving its longevity for us, given that we don't intend upgrading this
system for a few years (beyond maybe going RAID-5 at some point).

> Enjoy your card!

Thanks.
