Vista Home Basic Video Card advice

[Guest]

I need to get a PCI (Not E) video card to add to my system.I have VIsta Home
Basic and only have 1 PCI slot open.I have intergrated video at this time, I
want to upgrade the video card.

Will the
3DFUZION Gf FX5500 256MB Pci card work in my system? I no it will fit,
but will the Vista support the card? Will I have to re register my Vista
after I install the card? Please assist with any information you all can
provide, Thank you in advance!!

Vista drivers are available for the nVidia FX cards.. it should be ok, but
don't expect it to be red hot..

I was wondering if I upgrade to premium will the Areo work with the card?
Does any one have suggestions on a cheap good PCI videocard?

O/S only keeps records of Motherboard chip, RAM and CPU. so, any other
component will not affect re-activations
