The following link contains all of the Vista Aero requirements including

either way you look at it, a base score of 1-2 isn't typically powerful enough to run all of aero's functions properly or at all.

like I said, mine had a base score of 3. and it still wasn't enough to play the simple games vista comes with. they weren't even available for playing. until I installed the new card. it limits what you can do with aero based on the base score of your hardware. yeah if you have one gig of memory, the base score is going to be lower. I had a one gig set of memory. it scored a 3.4. I put 2 gigs of memory of the same speed in, the base memory score went to 5.7. if you bought the best video card on the market and the score went to 6.0 but your memory score is still 3. your base score is still going to be 3 thus limiting what aero functions you can use.
I'm not missing any points. that's how it works.
aero isn't just that feature that lets you flip through the screens.

and some of you need to learn how to quote posts. it's annoying the way you guys do it. or am I the only one that sees everyone but my post looking like this?
>;ladfljsdfj
> bla bla bla bla
>bla bla bla
>etc bla bla
>etc etc etc

it's hard to read like that.
mine always shows up with a nice box around your comments that seperate my post from yours clearly.
