I don't know for the price but a wed research could help you.
For Vista try "Panneau de configuration" arf Configuration board (?) / System and maintenance / Windows welcome.

I not sure for the names but... voilà. ;)

I don't have vista, but hopefully you can still do the following...

Go to start and look for a "Run" option. A little window with a textbox and some buttons should come up. In there, type the following:
dxdiag
Then look at the tab that says "display"

You should also be able to find it in the device manager. From Control Panel, find the System icon. There should be a hardware tab and from there you can click a device manager button. From the device manager, you can see a list of all devices/hardware installed in your PC. I believe the video card would be under "Display Adapters"

If Vista is not configured like this.. I'm sorry!

As for cost of the card, that really depends on what you want to get.

I second what Bren says. You won't regret it.
