Default I only have a video card with 64 megs of ram. Is Vista still worth

I only have 64 megs of ram on my video card, is it still worth it to download
and install vista? Will it look good or will it still look like xp? If I were
to install it is there a way to unistall it?

Thanks,

Ryan

The minimum requirements for the Windows AERO Glass effect if thats what you
want in Vista is 64 MBs of vRAM, but there are some caveats to this. The
card must Direct X 9 compliant and have a support WDDM (Windows Display
Driver Model). If you install Vista either clean install (overwrite the XP
Windows folder) or upgrade from XP, there is no way to uninstall, its a
point of no return, you will just have to format Vista and reinstall XP.

So back up any important data if you plan on doing so.

I have an Nvidia 4200 64MB card. Vista disabled the Aero Glass feature, and
will not allow me to enable it.

I'm using Vista with 8 Mb Video RAM. No Aero of course.
