Updating Recommendations HELP!
I am by no means a computer genius so bear with me. I recently purchased Vista Ultimate 32 Bit, but after reading many threads I saw that my Adapter Type, or Card, which is the Intel(R) 829 15G/GV/910GL Express Chipset, doesn't support the Aero Glass Theme. So I would like to update this but I'm clueless on where to start or what type of card do I need to run Aero and all the other features. Can you guys help me please, thanks in advance. -- firu3000

What brand - model computer do you have?
A 3rd party means a video card not made by the manufacturer of your computer. Some computers have their video on the motherboards. "firu3000" wrote in message ...

If you add a car remember to disable your onboard graphics.
Make sure any card you buy has a Vista Graphics Driver. I would recommend a 512 memory over 256 if you plan to do games or other graphic intensive programs. Hopefully your system has at least 2 gigs memory and 4 gigs is better. "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ...
