Might be looking to buy a very cheap PCI video card just so I can use Aero on my vista OS. So it needs to be D10X with 128 MB of RAM compatible. Shoot me some offers and we can see what we can do.

thx

I have a single HD2600 pro for $30 or if you fancy crossfire, a pair for $50. In single I was able to net 4.4k 3dm06, in crossfire 7k. Both prices shipped. Pics available at your request.

I am not a gamer so that is not an issue. Would this card enable me to run vista's aero without issue? Please let me know.

thx


Yeah, and it should handle standard downloadable HD video even. But you would also need a fairly decent processor too. Bluray would not do too well with it though.

But yes Aero easily. Just ask Xazax, I am sure he had Aero turned on when he was using it. ;)
