GeForce 9400GT PCI-e x16
I just bought one of these cards today at Best Buy. Cost me about $90. Seems to be a good card - get a lot better frame rates in Sauerbraten and Torcs. However, it has an annoying, tiny whine from the fan. My computer was quiet at idle before.
It has a gig of its own memory, which freed up the shared memory. Vista even improved its score from 3.0 to 4.9 after installing a new driver. I actually run Slackware nearly all the time. Vista gets booted for new hardware and updates only for an occasional game
The only thing is some kind of power connector it said must go to the power supply for optimal performance. It said it was a 6 pin, but it only has two. (PCI-ex16)
I could find no other place from the power supply or motherboard to plug it in to. Seems to run great otherwise.
