I think you may be only looking at the graphic card requirements.
The following link contains all of the Vista Aero requirements
including
ones such as the requirement for 1GB of Ram memory.

either way you look at it, a base score of 1-2 isn't typically powerful
enough to run all of aero's functions properly or at all.

like I said, mine had a base score of 3. and it still wasn't enough to
play the simple games vista comes with. they weren't even available for
playing. until I installed the new card. it limits what you can do with
aero based on the base score of your hardware. yeah if you have one gig
of memory, the base score is going to be lower. I had a one gig set of
memory. it scored a 3.4. I put 2 gigs of memory of the same speed in,
the base memory score went to 5.7.
I'm not missing any points. that's how it works.
if you have a base score of 1-3 you are not able to run all of aero's
functions fully. I thought I was too. but I was def wrong. aero
isn't just that feature that lets you flip through the screens.

the market and the score went to 6.0 but your memory score is still 3.
your base score is still going to be 3 thus limiting what aero functions
you can use.

and some of you need to learn how to quote posts. it's annoying the way
you guys do it. or am I the only one that sees everyone but my post
looking like this?
;ladfljsdfj
bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla
etc bla bla
etc etc etc

it's hard to read like that.
mine always shows up with a nice box around your comments that seperate
my post from yours clearly.

being cheap cost you twice, now you need a 7000, or 8000 series card

I tried to buy an AGP video card so I can get aero, so I bought something
cheap that is in the vista compatibility hardware list (evga nvidia geforce
fx 5700 ultra 128M)

After I installed the card, I found that aero is not supported using the
built-in vista driver. If I use the nvidia driver, the text in the vista
hold 'em game flashes continuously. Still no aero.

Where can I find a list of video card that supports vista aero and has a
stable driver?
