    Will the commonly used integrated video solutions by Intel and AMD display the Vista Aero interfaces correctly?

    Yes, the gma950, which is the weakest of the more recent integrated gpus will work fine as long as you have enough memory installed (at least 1gb)

    Same here. I recommend that you have more than 1GB of RAM. At the least 1 GB.

    I was surprised that the Intel GMA950 worked pretty well with the Aero theme. But you must have 1gb ram or maybe even more.
