Well, the Vista requirements are listed on the Microsoft Vista webpages.
Have you tried the 'Vista Upgrade Advisor' on your present system? That
will qualify your present display card solution, and advise the minimum
requirements if the current solution is insufficient.

There are at least two levels of Vista compliance, 'Windows Vista Capable',
which does not include support for 'Areo' and 'Windows Vista Premium', which
does.

Better you look for yourself, rather than posting a series of questions
without sufficient supporting details; for example, what kind of display
adapter interface does the computer support - AGP or PCI-E, and is the rest
of the system up to 'Windows Vista Premium' compliance? As for the video
card in isolation from the rest of the system, for 'Windows Vista Premium
Ready' the card must support DX9, Pixel Shader 2.0, 32-bits per pixel, and
have at least 128 MBytes on card memory. Once you have all the details,
then selecting the 'cheapest' nVidia based video card will be possible. You
can get anything from a 7200 GS 128 MB to an 8400 GS 128 MB between $40 and
$50 US, any of which meet 'Windows Premium Ready' requirements, but you also
must have the correct interface (AGP or PCI-E) for your system.

7300 LE will work. Should be around $75 or $80 for a 256 mb card... maybe
less if someone is upgrading and wants to dump theirs.

Look around and get a 7300GT for that price or less. No shared memory
and better performance. About the same price as a 7300LE.
