meaning no updates.... a good graphics card is nvidia gtx 780 ti
for example, look at "new egg" stuff
best buy isn't always up to par.... on the latest graphics cards
If I ordered that card would the vista hardware accept it?

that particular card is for high end graphics and costs in the 3 hundreds
it takes up allot of space as they are wider with dual fans to keep it cool...

so you'd need two available slots on the back of your pc
if we're talking about a desktop

you have to ask yourself is it time to upgrade my whole
computer now ( 7 years old is ancient technology)
to something that comes complete with a better graphics card
that will handle the go pro movies demand on the system

or should i just switch to a better card?

here's a photo of the inside of my ASUS case
so you can see the wider card and how much room
it requires. These new cards come with on board memory
of 3-8 gigs (anything to do with graphics eats memory fast).

and the slot style has to match....
a good question for the GEEK squad @ best buy
make sure you have the name and model number
of your PC written down
