You can get a 6200 in AGP as well (I have one). However, at least thus far, I
prefer the transcoder to the 6200's component out, since it lets me have much
more control over the picture and I can use xrandr. That said, component out
on the 6200 Just Works, no modeline tweaking necessary.
The Crescendo box is nice... I've got a ~1.5 year old Audio Authority 9A60
that does the job for me, but the VGA passthrough would be nice to have when
tweaking...
