Will this card work with vista? (LEGEND FX5200)

This is the website description:

he GeForce FX 5200 and GeForce PCX 5300 GPUs deliver best-in class performance and features at a great price. With a GeForce FX or PCX mainstream GPU inside your PC, you can experience cinematic-quality effects, studio-quality color, and the industry-leading performance and rock-solid driver stability you expect from NVIDIA.

* GEFORCE FX5200
* TV OUT
* DVI
* 128MB DDR - 64BIT

CineFX Engine new shading architecture that total supports the latest DirectX 9.0 pixel and vertex shader specifications 2.0+.

High-precision Graphic Engine brings you the most intense cinematic visions by combining the dynamic range of state-of-the-art 3D motion pictures with the studio-quality precision of the 128-bit graphics pipeline.

Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.

Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) 3.0 provides dynamic control of visual quality give users complete control of the overall color and clarity on your computer display.

AGP 8X support doubles the graphic bus bandwidth, but also dramatically improves the overall throughputs for todays intensive graphics applications.

API support full compliant to all Microsofts DirectX 9.0 applications and OpenGL 1.4 applications

Thanks in advance!

P.S. This is an old card I had lying around and I'm selling on an Auction website, one of the bidders asked the questions, so I came here looking for the answer =)

Not according to the specs, which I've taken directly from M$ and conveniently placed above in the form of a .jpeg

Yes, it works. I installed Home Premium on my parents computer, which has a 128mb Geforce FX5200. Aero works and everything, though some of the effects aren't 100% smooth(mainly full screen windows)
