Aero Performance on older DirectX 9 AGP adapter with Vista RTM (Nvidia FX5200, Radeon 9500)

Hello,

can we have an idea of aero Performance on older DirectX 9 AGP adapter with
Vista RTM (Nvidia FX5200, Radeon 9500) ?

In my experience on beta 2, aero performance was good on Radeon 9550 (which
is probably one of the less powerfull ATI Radeon DirectX9 chip), but slower
and not smooth on Nvidia FX 5200 (which is probably one of the less
powerfull Nvidia DirectX9 chip).

Somes users who don't like game have very powerfull computer (fast cpu, 512
MB or 1 GB of Ram) and one of these two video adapter, and I am curious to
known if they need upgrade their video adapter to enjoy aero confortable.

If not, what is the cheapest AGP video card wich allow aero confortable ?

A latest question for more recent PCI express video.
If we have two display with resolution 1280x1024 (or more) , we need 256 MB
of ram on the graphics adapter to use aero.

Some PCI Express video card use "hyper memory" (64 or 128 MB on the video
adapter, use more from motherboard memory).
Can we consider this "hyper memory" amount ?

I am happy with a 45 Euro GeForce 6200 card with 128 MB VRAM (not
shared;-) AGP by Asus.

Is Flip 3D fast ?

Using ATI Radeon 9550, Flip 3D is fast
With Geforce FX5200 or FX5600 Flip 3D is far less smooth

I'm curious how fast is flip3D on Geforce 6200
