Hi,
I have a pc that is currently running Windows MCE and I am eligible for an upgrade to vista premium. My PC has a Pentium 4 3GHZ processor and 1 gig of DDR2 ram. However the graphics are via the nvidia chip on the motherboard. I know that if I want to have the aero glass feature on Vista then I will need a dedicated graphics card. This is where i need some advice. I am not a gamer so I dont need to spend daft money, but I do need a card that will support the vista features and also needs to be good at HD decoding. I was looking at the ATI Raedon 1650pro, you can pick it up for about £75.00 and it seems to fit the bill but as I am a bit of a graphics novice can I have a few opinions.
Thanks
Simon
