Aero not enabled?

Do you have 2 512MB DDR2 Dim or 1 1GB DDR2 Dim? There have been several
reports of Aero not running unless you have a pair of DDR2 chips.

where did you hear or read this? I got 1 GB of RAM, 2.00GHZ and new
X1650 Pro. I can't enable AERO.

Maybe I missed the start of this thread, don't know. But processor and RAM
are largely irrelevant. It's all about the video card. See page below and
links from there:

Is the problem that you can't choose Windows Vista as your theme in
Personalization?

In another thread 2-3 weeks ago the OP for the thread tryid many suggestions
from many users that support this newsgroup and none of the suggestins
solved his problem.
He himself finally found out that as long as he used a pair of 512MB DDR2
Dimms or a pair of 1GB Dimms Aero worked fine. But if if he used a pair of
512MB dimms and a single 1GB Dimm he could not run Aero.
None of us could explain why this was true since there is no reference to
this "requirement" in any documentation.
