afaik, the older FX5600/5700/5900 would prolly be faster than the 6200 (assuming that its not the one with turbochache), on older/DX8 games, on some true DX9 tests/benchmarks ive seen sometime ago (with Pixel and Vertex Shader 2.0), the 6200 manages to pull from the FX line quite good even surpassing a PCX5750/PCX5900 at times, this is due to the GeForce FX's so-so DX9 performance.

nope, the name is a bit intimidating, but its actually slower than the regualar 6200. TurboCache(ATi has HyperMemory) is a fancy name that allows the Graphics card to allocate some memory from the system ram and turn it into vram (just like an integrated graphics card would do), but its a bit faster this time as it uses the 4GB/sec. transfer rate of the PCI-E, however its still slow compared to the higher memory bandwidth of other similar cards with dedicated video ram.
You will notice that TurboCache versions of the 6200 has a label like"up to 128MB of memory" written on its box because it allocates up to that memory (although the card has some dedicated vram of its own from 16,32MB etc.)

AGP versions of the 6200 however does not have TurboCache.

i dont think you would wanna get an FX series now, yeah they were nice at their time but DX9 kills them, id rather get the 9800Pro.

9600 turning into 9800? is there such?(they have different designs isnt it?) ive only seen 9500 to 9700 ones.

afaik, some 6200's can only be modded when its using the 6600 core.
