    as answered in many threads before GMA 950 can run the aero glass part of Vista decently but it is recommended that you have 1 gb or more of RAM

    "Will run or won't run" - that's the question

    Don't worry, it WILL, not that it's so important but...

    Actually, this is probably the question of the year and I'm not sure who is giulty for that Microsoft or Intel or just the both...

    I have tried it with the RC1 and I can't get Glass to run on my Z62F, while it will on my W7J. So, for me, GMA950 won't run it. Of course, this could change with the final release and better driver support.
