You well always have better performance from a stand alone card vs. on board memory. Now I know that your on a budget but this is what I would recommend so that your dx10 ready and you don't have to buy a new card in a year or so:

The first one stays around your budget. The other two is what I would try to shoot for, so you'll be happy with you pc gaming experience. Enjoy!

If you have a integrated card, any add on card that is OK, is heaps better. - Id spend a bit more tho, get something worth a bit more, so you dont have to buy another one in a year.

yes this card will improve your performance by a lot
because that ati 200 series is..very very behind..
i still wouldnt recommend this card as it is too, not very good
iif you are getting a new video card i would recommend getting an 8600gt for about $95 us dollars.
the 8600gt kicks that 8400gs in the butt, HARD

Hi. The reviews were pretty good with DX10 and Vista. My guess is yes.
