Does Intel GMA950 support Aero?

Posted: 10-08-2006, 12:16 AM
I'm trying to get a straight answer to what should be a relatively
simple question: Will Aero run, natively, "out of the box", on
computers that have an Intel GMA [Graphics Media Accelerator] 950 shared
memory chipset video system? For the purpose of this question, it can
be assumed that the computer has a Gigabyte of total memory and at least
a Core solo processor (e.g. not a Celeron).

The purchase of some laptops hinges on this, so the answer must be
right. I know that people have been able to run Aero on GMA950 using
some patches and alternate drivers manually installed. But I also know
that some of those patches and drivers that previously worked in early
beta version no longer work in RC1 and [I am presuming] RC2; thus, I
want the answer based only on expected WDDM support by Microsoft or
Intel for GMA950, included with Vista "out of the box".

Thanks
