What is your budget because if want to take full advantage of vista and the new graphics engine DirectX 10 then you will need a DX10 card however they are quite expensive at the moment.

DX10 cards will work on xp i think but to take full advantage of directx 10 you need vista as thats what it comes with however the dx10 cards are very expensive.

This one here is the most expensive and best performance dx10 i believe:
PNY GeForce 8800GTX VCG8800XXPB HDCP Video Card - Retail at Newegg.com

Meh..DX10 won't be worth using for a year or so and there will be very few apps/games to take advantage of it. Also, in time the cost of DX10 cards will drop to a reasonable level and at that time DX10 will be fully working (and worth having).
