Any card that supports DX9 or DX10. The faster the better as always.

Pfft, you people and your latest technology...

The oldest POS I have (Athon 2800+ with GeForce 5200 FX) runs Aero/glass fine. Dont try playing games, but as far as Vista is concerned it works well.

GeForce FX5200's are still good cards. I have one in my 'other' PC and it runs Aero and games no worries.
