I don't agree with this. Upgrading to a video card that supported Aero Glass
increased the overall speed of my computer with Vista. Vista can offload
much of the graphics processing from the CPU to the GPU with a video card
that supports Aero Glass.

Its not required, however if you have a DX9 video card with pixel
shader 2.0 support with a decent amount of memory, and proper driver
support you can use the Aero Glass theme.

Don't upgrade your video card unless you want better gaming
performance, Aero Glass is not worth the upgrade.

The minimum requirement for vista seems to be 128MB video card. Would
I gain any functionality by going to a 256MB card?
