Dont know if anyone else has discovered it but I was getting an Aero rating
and gaming graphic rating of 1 with an AGP 8x 512mb X1950 pro.

Not that its a whole lot but I installed the last XP driver for the card and
ran setup in XP sp2 compatability mode and am now getting a 1.9 for Aero.

Again, thats not much but it tells me ATIs drivers are not working right. I
tried every Vista release they did even the new beta and all of them didnt
work to run a game I was trying. Once I tried the XP driver, it runs like a
champ.

If you find that this is the same for you please go to ATI.com and go to
their driver feedback and provide as much detail as possible. THis will help
them look at multiple system specs to pinpoint where the issue is.

Thanks, and good luck.

I should note you cant leave it running with the XP driver, you wil get
memory dumps, but just for testing.
