Default Aero on 64MB?

I have a fairly good laptop (centrino 2ghz, 2gb RAM) but the graphics card
is an X300 with 64MB Built in RAM, will I not even get the choice of Aero or
will it just be slow? (my res is 1400x1050) I know if its slow I won't use
it but it'd be nice to see what it looks like. The Vista ready test app
said I should upgrade my grafx card ;(

thanks

For shared memory, or integrated graphics chiptsets, 1 GB of dual channel
configured system memory (RAM) is required. The system needs to have at
least 512 MB of RAM available for general system activities after graphics
processing.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... I have a radeon x300 with 64mb
dedicated... so 1280 x 800 is ok? Thats what I got out of their Get Ready
page, but I wanted to make sure. I also think I should upgrade system
memory... I only have 512mb.

Default Re: Aero on 64MB?

I would like to use aero too!
is it possible to use aero with 512 RAM and 128MB grafic card?

how can I test it? do I have to use a special display resolution ?

thanks a lot!
