I have a 6200 running dual displays.  I love it and will share the 
xorg.conf with anyone who wants it.

The nvidia drivers installed flawlessly and make the card run 10x (or 
more) faster than without.  (Duh!)

Yes, it took a while to get it to work, and I found all kinds of ways 
for it to not work, including text on the left monitor and graphics on 
the right :)
