ATI, Nvidia, Intel, S3, and VIA have listed their Vista-ready gear.
My advice with regards to graphics cards would be to make sure that you don't buy something that's too close to the bottom of any of these lists if you want good performance, and to buy mid-range gear if you want good performance without having to take out a loan.
