Which does aero in vista/7 rely? Video card or Ram?
Which does aero count on? I have a downdated video card and a 512mb ram and with a memory of 37.2gb(22gb free). Should i upgrade my video card or upgrade to a 1gb ram? or both? Im really in need of the aero in vista/7 because it looks good and feels kinda luxurious. I also want the window transitions(boxes fading in/out) because it also looks good. Should i upgrade my video card or ram or both?
Comp Specs:
1. 512mb RAM
2. Downdated video card
3. 22gb free out of 37.2gb memory
4. non-widescreen monitor Xd

well you can run it in a "half" graphics mode but it will be slow.
with those specs i would upgrade both
BUT...you might get away with just upgrading your graphics card and just make your paging file larger
Hi
It needs both graphics and RAM if your going to use windows 7 you will almost defiantly need to upgraded your RAM im using highest settings and it uses 700mb RAM idle all i have currently is a x1300 pro (ATI) and it runs fine but i have 1gb RAM which TBH is not enough you should really have 2GB of RAM with vista adn windows 7. You wil also need a bigger hard drive Windows 7 requires 16gb but including the needed programms such as virus proctectors and all other programmes basically 20gb.
Hope this helps.
Video card! at least a 256MB card must be installed but in reality a 128MB will work because ive done it even though the advisor said it would not!
