Decent deal if you just need a card to toss into a board for non-gaming, though I dare say it'll play older titles just fine.

great little card, have 2 in my wife's & sister in law's pc's. i paid the $26.99 with no rebate, and i was happy with that price. do run a little warm with no fan thought, but great for a htpc

Thank you to the OP, I'm in for one

Might be the right price, just to have on hand. I've had a few cards die over the years, and never have had a replacement lying around. For this price, why not.

Would this be better than an onboard 6100 or 6150?

Yes. Doesn't eat your RAM and mem bandwidth

Nice card to have as a spare or even regular use for a HTPC or non-gaming machine. I checked GPU review.com and this card seems to be pretty even with the 6200LE that was ~$13 shipped a week or three ago. Initially it looked much more powerful, but once you cut the memory in half (64-bit compared to the 128-bit memory shown on GPUReview).

I like the half height card with the full height Passive Heatsink! All in all a nice alternative from ATI from the 6200LE. Thanks Zap!
