That's around 50-140 bucks (the less the better) that is good for running vista, general gaming, and supports directx 10?

for vista your going to want a good 512 or 640mb card to perform well in the coming dx10 games

Thats sort of like trying to buy a Corvette or a Viper, but only wanting to pay 1000$. It's either one or the other. Either you don't pay a lot (and don't get a lot), or pay more, at least 200$, and get what you say you're looking for.
