Hello, i ran a vista check and the only thing that failed was the graphics card

im a little confused

i was looking at this one on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-nVidia-GeForce...1QQcmdZViewItem

it says vista compatible and so should allow the aero function to work

however it says Memory Type: 128MB / 256MB DDR2/DDR3
what does that actaly mean and then later on it says

For Full 512MB support, 1 GB of system memory required In SLI mode, effective memory size is 128MB/256MB.


could anyone shed some light on this

thanks

Well, to tell you the truth, that card isnt really good.... I would go with something like a 7400 and above for graphics if you're going to run vista.

The memory in a card decides on how fast the screen will refresh... In short, more memory means less lag. Heres a more in depth article on how this stuff works: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/graphics-card.htm

This isnt really making sense to me, but I think what it is trying to say is that if you want to put two of these togeather in sli, then you need at least a gig of system memory. (If you get vista, make sure you have at least 2, unless you get the basic.)
