I have Radeon X800 XT video card which to my knowledge was a very good card, but it is not on the vista list..

i wouldn't throw away the card, yet.\neven though it may not be listed on the official Vista compatibility list, cards like a 9550 are.\nchances ATI won't (eventually) release a driver that gives a X800 full access to the vista features :-o :-/\nnaaaa, they'll find a way.

there is no definite list of hardware that will be supported but they do require a GPU that supports DirectX 9 and has at least 64 MB of graphics memory.\nto take full advantage of vista's capabilities, the GPU needs to support Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)

You probably need to install/update your video card driver.  Go to your manufacturers website and download the most current driver for your model and OS.  Install it and see what happens.  It may update itself automatically or give you more resolutions to choose from.

Windows Vista. Beta version is available already. It will be even more "visual", transparent windows etc, --> requires a modern video adapter.

You can find the system requirements for Windows Vista at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx\n\nFor existing PCs, you can check the compatibility using the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor (beta) available for download from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx

Never work on minimum requirements because you will never ever be able to work smoothly with these configurations. Always look for recommended requirements. For Vista, the recommended configuration is 3 GHz CPU, a decent (mid range) PCI-Express or AGP graphics accelerator card, 1 GB of RAM. Whatever hard disk you have is adequate since I donot expect you to be in possession of a hard disk less than 40GB with the above config PC.

i would check the manufacturers website some of them are writing drivers for vista and posting them

Find out what graphics card you have and visit the companies website, they should offer free driver updates

Processor is OK\nRAM Memory is OK\nVideo - NO WAY - bye with at least 512 RAM to be sure it will run Vista/ good games\nSoftware included with is too old - Word 2002???\nMaybe it will be better to wait for Vista capable computer - which means Video card with 512 ram and support for DirectX 10 and at least 1 Gb Ram

Never ever think of waiting for more new hardware or software, they always develop.\nUsing a 64 bit CPU is a good option, also great for future updates when the windows 64-bit will be more available, for now have it & have the PCI-E cards, they are the new era of technology. Vista will be even compatible with older technologies so how come about your state-of-art parts? They will be kicking for years :D\n\nGo ahead & have them, choose well & God bless you

Microsoft has an evaluation tool to test hardware for Vista \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/default.mspx

I tried the Vista Beta on a gForce FX5500 with 256MB of RAM. I would not go any lower than this, and even then you will probably have problems with anything but simple games.\n\nNewegg.com, tigerdirect.com, etc. etc.

It matters what type of interface you have in your pc, there are two main types on the market today, PCI express, and AGP.  You must figure out the interface in your pc, and buy accordingly.\n\nIf you mean you want to know if your video card is compatible with a game you own, make sure it is listed in the requirements, or look on the games website for supported game.\n\nI'm sorry I couldn't be more straightforward, there wasn't much for me to work off of.

Well, what model is your computer and how old is it.  That will depend on what kind of graphics card you can install in it.  If you just got the computer it most likely has only a PCIe slot.  If it is even one year old then it probably has an AGP slot.  Also, the lower end Dell computers used to not include even an AGP slot so it depends on what model it is.\n\nMy favorite card right around the sub $250 is the Radeon X800XL best performance per price ratio, it is even a favorite over at Cnet.  But I will warn you if you don't have at least a 300W power supply in your computer you may not be able to use it.  But that's okay, another favorite of mine is the Geforce 6600GT but it only comes in a 128MB version.\n\nBut you really need to check your computer, either in the manual or if you have the original specs and see if it has either an AGP 8X/4X slot or PCIe x16 slot and that will determine which version of the card you should get because most video cards now come in both versions.\n\nFor benchmarks on the X800XL see Tomshardware, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/28/don/page7.html\n\nand for the 6600GT see, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/04/04/good_3d_performance_at_a_middling_price/page29.html\n\nfor Cnet's review of the X800XL see, http://reviews.cnet.com/ATI_Radeon_X800_XL_PCIE_256MB/4505-8902_7-31320650.html?tag=tpr

No .. if you have its driver cd then install if not then no problems. you just install you VGA Card driver.

First and easiest thing to try is downloading and installing the newest version of your video card's drivers.  Check your Device Manager under "Display Adapters" for the model, then go to the manufacturer's website and find the appropriate driver.\n\nI could give you more details if I knew the model of the card.

Hi, this is not really vid card related. Right click your desktop and go to properties>advanced>monitor\n\nsomewhere around there you can change this.\n\nYou may have control panel software for the radeon that will allow you to do this as well.\n\nHope that helps\nNigel
