I don't blame you, however, it's easily solved: Look at the Bus
Interface column: You want a PCI (not PCI-Express) card, which narrows
it down to one 5200 and 2 6200s. It looks like there was an early 6200
(codename NV43) which was superceded by the later one (NV44)
You'll probably find that in places that are selling the PCI version,
you won't have to worry about being spoilt for choice!
