Importing Video Cards?

Is there any way I can import this into the U.S.? I could sure use one, seeing as it's cheap, supports Vista, and is part of the Radeon X1K series; a big improvement over my Radeon 9250.

Know any way to get this under my roof?
 
I have a Dell Dimension 3000. The X1300 looks pretty attractive, considering it's Vista Ready. But what would be better? The 6200 OC PCI (look for my old thread, had a huge discussion about that one, we concluded it was horribly overpriced) or the Radeon X1300? I'd just love to have any card better than this 9250. But I don't have the money required for a new system, even with carry-overs. And there's no way I'm building a $300 Sempron system, that'd be a downgrade from my P4 3.0GHz 😛
 
Not meant as a knock, but I must question the logic in attempting to install Vista on a system that doesn't even have the means to support a medium weight vid card. Even if it worked, no other part of your rig would be "Vista ready" and you'd still suffer from the artificial penalties DRM will introduce.

I have the sufficient memory, HDD space, and processor. All I need now is a Shader Model 2.0 video card. But I'm not getting the actual card for Vista, I just want an improvement over my current Radeon 9250. I've also downloaded Vista Beta 2, and am dying to try it out along with its new AERO interface.
