According to ATI's suggested retail price, the 256MB Radeon X1650 Pro costs $100. At that price, it's a great 3D graphics card that will turn any otherwise 3D-inept desktop into a basic but respectable gaming box. It will also aid your Windows Vista plans if you'd like to run the transparent Aero effects. The problem is that a quick Froogle search turned up prices ranging from $65 to about $225. At $100 or less, the Radeon X1650 Pro is a good deal, but don't pay any more than that because cards in the $150 territory offer clearly superior performance.
