Hey all, im looking for a new card to replace my ati radeon x1300 pro, so as u can assume anything is a step up, but basically it has to be low profile (small chasis compatible). And my budget isnt great, i was looking at the 256mb nVidia 8600gt? Any thoughts on this card? Any known compatibilty problems with Vista and dx10 games? I dont need too good a card either, im not gonna be runnin crysis like... Just halo 2 nd similar spec games i guess...

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks in advance, Apollord.
