Cheap PCI-E card for vista machine?

[DarkManX4lf]

Whats a good cheap (below $50) card that is PCI-E and will run Vista Aero?
Or a cheap equivalent PCI-E card of the ATi 9800?

I suppose you are not gaming on that, and you only want it for basic hardware acceleration and Aereo?

In that case this Passively cooled 7100GS will get the job done for $48.

For a little more oomph, you can get this passively cooled 7600GS

There's also a 7300LE w/ similar specs ~$50:

BTW, can you believe the guy in Newegg comments that ordered 2x 7600 GS for SLI? :Q

For ATI, an X300 would be fine.

nVidia, a 7300 GS/GT or LE.

Ha ha! I noticed that too! :Q


What's next...SLI'ed 7100LEs?

That'd provide killer MS Excel performance.
