PCI graphics card for Vista
Hi all
Since upgrading my PC to Vista, the onboard graphics driver now does not work for Windows Movie Maker. The error it gives is that it does not support DirectX9 and have Vista drivers (I had to cobble together the XP driver to get the displauy working correctly).
So, i know its a long shot, but does anyone know of a PCI graphics card that supports DirectX9 and has Vista drivers, or am I going to have to "borrow" a more up to date PC from work....

It uses the onboard at the moment, which is clearly not good enough ! Any ideas if there is a PCI graphics card that supports DirectX9 and has Vista drivers ?

Druddle, you shoud see a nice performance increase moving to the correct video card.
Lots of onboard RAM, so its not 'sharing' with your system RAM, not to mention additional performance.
This article gives you a good idea of price versus performance:

Dave I've just been given a brand new XFX Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256mb DDR3 card and its absolutely superb for my needs.
I've checked the prices out and your're looking circa £70. If you get onto ebuyer.com and you will get change and free delivery as well.

I have just downloaded the PDF manual for the PC (Fujitsu Siemens Scenic W600 i845GE) and it tells me there is one AGP slot on the motherboard.
