So, you see two 6200 boards offering the TurboCache technology that allows fitting small video memory capacity on. The PCI-Express bus for its good bandwidth serves as the basis for linking the system memory to the GPU. Therefore, much of what used to be stored in the local memory of the graphics card (textures, frame buffer, etc.) is now placed into the system memory.
That has been done primarily for the purpose of reducing the prime cost of the board. From this viewpoint, it is not quite clear why many manufacturers decided to fit BGA memory chips on cards like these because this adds to the price of the solution - it would be better if the board were equipped with TSOP-chips.
We should also understand that these boards are mainly aimed at the OEM sector of the market, that is why much focus is given to the cheapness. They won't appeal to gamers, since most of them do not provide the minimum acceptable performance in modern games. On the other hand, OEM partners acquire modern cheap external (!) graphics for the PCI-Express.
Let's examine the boards.

The differences are not only about the capacity of installed memory, but in the capacity of the bus which is 32-bit in the lower model.
The cooling system on both the boards is a regular aluminum radiator for cooling the GPU. Fitting a more sizeable cooling system is not justified since the heat emission of the chips is rather small. The NV44 chip is made following the 0.11 nm process technology, and the clock speed is not high. To prevent the board from damages upon contacts with the radiator, protective washers are fitted on its foot.
The GPU frequency in both boards is 350MHz. The chip offers four pixel pipelines, three vertex units. Note that the formula is original and final. Therefore, as the memory exchange bus can't be more than 64-bit here, the number of pipelines can't be increased (unlike NV43 with its activated 4 pipelines, with the possibility to unlock as many as 8).
Inno3D GeForce 6200TC 16Mb offers 16 Mb of local video memory of GDDR standard with a 32-bit data transmission bus, assembled of one Hynix BGA chip of 2.5 ns access time, which is equivalent to 800 MHz DDR operating frequency. The nominal operating frequency of the video memory is 700 MHz DDR. The memory chip is positioned on the front side of the board.
But Inno3D GeForce 6200TC 64Mb offers 64 Mb of local video memory of GDDR standard with a 64-bit data transmission bus, assembled of four Samsung TSOP chips of 4 ns access time, which is equivalent to 250 MHz (500 MHz DDR) operating frequency. The nominal frequency of the video memory is 550 MHz DDR, which is 50 MHz above the nominal.
The video memory chips are positioned in two along each side of the board.
As the thermal interface, the "thermal chewing gum" is used.
Both boards are equipped with one analogous and digital outputs, as well as a TV-OUT.
