Here is a review with lots of info. on the GPU.
http://www.beyond3d.com/previews/nvidia/6200/
I've read some reviews where the 4 dormant pipes where
unlocked using Rivatuner, and the core, and memory was overclocked to
near 6600GT performance, but not sure if that's really true. I'd
suspect it would get past the 6600 standard with some overclocking,
and unlocking the pipes.
I was gona buy the Leadtek 6200 AGP as I heard it was easy to
unlock it, and overclock faster than a 6600 standard with stock
cooling, but I read that Nvidia is no longer producing the 6200
version of the NV43 GPU chips. They now produce an NV44A GPU chip for
the 6200 that has the 4 dormant pipes removed. Knowing my luck, if I
order one, it would be the new stock with the NV44A chip. I however
lucked out with some extra cash, and just ordered a 6600GT.
