A family friend at a 4th of July party who owns his own computer repair place said I will need a PCI graphics card instead of an AGP graphics card to run Windows Vista Ultimate. I don't beleve him :), so I thought I would ask people online. Also, how much do you think a licence will be to run Vista on other computers?
Thanks,
Eddie

Any graphics card should work with Vista. Its an operating system, the only thing you need video card is for displaying information on the screen that it. The only thing that Operating System should care about is amount of RAM , the CPU and Hard Drive Space. Thats it. The graphics card is for you if you want to be able to watch high def movies or play intesive games like World of Warcraft. Besides, it should be specified on Windows what kind of computer specs are needed to run it. I don't think it matters what kinda of card you have.

No, an AGP card will work as well.
I think they will price it $200-300, typical for Microsoft, maybe a $50-100 edition with the basics.

PCI express is the right upgrade path, but AGP will probably work with Vista..albeit not as good.
No Idea on licence, as of yet.
