I used it, & found moderate CPU usage, Vista was quite fast on my computer except when searchindexer.exe was on, so i disabled it the speed was much like XP. The frame rate of stuff on screen is not like that of games, so u cannot compare SM 2.0 speed of games to SM2.0 speed of the OS User interface

even a FX 5200 non ultra with 128 MB RAM has enough horsepower to run Vista UI properly, unless i m missing some info..

when i return, i will check it on other GPUs too

I have a 2800+ with 512 MB ram..I'm not a gamer....should I go for a FX 5200 will it run Aero properly.....will it work 512 MB ram....will it be very very slow..
