Buying a new video card

[cuemasterfl]

My 8500GT is dead, so I am looking to buy a new card (PCI-E). I would prefer an ATI now, because searching the 'net leads me to believe NVidia has issues with their Vista drivers (not sure about ATI). I run Windows Vista Home Premium, with 2GB of Memory, and the game I play more than anything is WoW, but I also like to play FSX and X-Plane 9, and some of the new games when they come out. I am looking to spend around $120 or so. Suggestions?

Both companies have solid Vista drivers now, it shouldn't be an issue. As far as cards go, I'd say the 8800GT would be your best bet at <$120. If you do want to go ATI, the 4850 for ~$150.

i'd spring for a 4850. It's simply the best bang for the buck right now.
