The fan was going out on my OEM video card, so I thought that it would be a good time for an upgrade. I didn't want to spend too much for a video card because this computer is around three years old now, and I will be replacing it in another year or so.

On Vista systems, when you go to Control Panel > Performance Information, your computer will rate your "Windows Experience". I had previously upgraded the harddrive to a unit that rated 5.9 on the Index but the graphics card was lagging behind with a 3.6 rating. [BTW, 5.9 is the highest possible rating on the Index]

After installing the VisionTek Radeon 4550 (512MB), the rating for the graphics card jumped to 5.3 This is a good upgrade for the relatively small price of this card and it should do just fine until I get a new computer.
