I'm thrilled with my 6200. It's not fanless because I bought one of  
the first models that came out and it's overclocked, but there are  
fanless ones now. You only need to worry about a black and white  
overlay if you're running with XvMC. If you have enough processing  
power to not need XvMC, any of the nvidia cards will function properly.
