Default New Video Card

Hello all, I need a new video card for my comp. I have an HP a1540n with 2
gigs of ram, an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+, and a NVIDIA GeForce 6150
LE (which I want to upgrade). I run Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. So I want
to find a new video card that is compatible with my PC and OS. I am looking
for one under $200 preferably NVIDIA, so if someone can find me the best for
my money I would appreciate it. One more thing, my PC is still under warranty
so I am reluctant to open it up to put that new video card in. Is there any
way I can get a professional to put it in or something so it would still be
under warranty? Or is the only way to put it in to void my warranty? Thank
you in advance.

Try for a NVidia 7950 or even the ATI X1900 XT cards and good prices now.

There are Vista drivers for your 6150 card available at the NVIDIA Website.
If you think you need a better card it would help to now why or wht what
functions and what types of slots you have available in your system.
