    Just one simple question for those who have tried or at least have any ideas...

    Will a 8400GS card be enough to do compiz (2GB system RAM and 2.2 core 2 duo) without having any trouble?

    I mean, from light effects to heavy effects.... from 1 to 10, will it be able to play, say, at least 7-8 score??

    Or will it be slow?

    Thanks. BTW i'm noob on these stuff.

    Compiz runs fine of 5 year old integrated hardware, including Intel Extreme 2 graphics. You won't have a problem.
