If you are wanting to use any of the DX10 stuff in Vista you could go with an NV 8800GTS card, but that is above your price range. With what little gaming you do, you could use about any PCI-E card you can find in your price range, it just will not give you some of the eye candy of DX10 which will be visible only in upcoming games that will be supporting it.

The advantage of fanless, is there is no cheap fan to fail or squeak. I have one computer here, with a fanless card, and I place an 80mm case cooling fan next to it, blowing on the heatsink. The case cooling fan is of a better quality than the normal video card fans (mine is a ball bearing fan from a local electronics store). SAPPHIRE 100203L Radeon HD 2400PRO 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready $45 USD http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814102100 Check for customer reviews, for each card in the list. If there is a recurring theme in the reviews (i.e. "my card was dead when I got it"), then perhaps choosing another would be a good idea. Paul | ||||||||||||||||

That isn't challenging at all for a graphics card so don't be sold up to the latest fastest hardware. Something like: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(17209)Gigabyte-ATi-Radeon-X1050-Silent-Graphics.aspx will run Vista with the Aero interface and is perfectly adequate for your purposes. It's based on the Radeon X1050 which isn't the fastest chip out there but it isn't exactly antiquated either. For £21.15 it isn't worth buying anything more and it's fanless to boot. -- Andrew Smallshaw andrews@sdf.lonestar.org | ||||||||||||||||
