QUOTE(SD>Big @ Sep 17 2006, 03:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>that's not true, that's just for the aero theme which is basicaly just esthetics, you need a card with 128mb memory to run, and if you dont have one, windows will automaticaly turn aero on and off depending your system's hardware.it sucks enough with aero off the ui is horrible they've ruined the start menu. I can turn off all the options to make it look like windows 98 again, but really why bother when i can just do the same in xp....
