    Well, the BEST graphics card would be the BFG nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra OC. But that card costs about $750. If you mean a graphics card that supports Vista Ultimate, has good quality and performance, yet is priced for average consumers, you could check out the nVidia GeForce 7 Series ($100 - $200) or the BFG nVidia GeForce 8500, 8600 ($200-$300)

    Okay, your computer does not actually have a video card. It has integrated graphics (not the same thing). The brand of graphics card that you should get will depend on the specific chipset that you have on the motherboard. Many people do not know this, but motherboards with Nvidia chipsets will not work well with ATI graphics cards, and vice versa. Since you have Intel integrated graphics, I'm willing to bet that you should probably go with Nvidia.

    Make sure that you get a video card that matches an expansion slot that you have. An AGP slot will not use a PCI-Express card.

    Try something in the nVidia GeForce 8 Series. I am getting a GeForce 8600 from XFX. I am buying it on newegg.com
