curious about this card as ive found that it exists but not found it references positively or negatively anywhere else

they still sell this 6200 pci card!! even to this day..
other models still for sale **IN PCI FORMAT** (not pci-express):

quick look at some facts of the other "PCI" cards for sale on newegg:

Geforce 6200, NV43 @ 300Mhz, 8.8 GB/sec

Geforce GT610, ?
radeon HD5450, "Cedar" @650 MHz, ?

if these Fx5200, + 6200 PCI cards are known to work in powermac g4's for mac osx
whats to stop them from running these other newer cards?
