That 1.0 rating is always a bummer. My 2-year old 64-bit Acer laptop got a 1.0 because of the integrated video card, but other than the loss of glass, it spanked the llama. But my 2-week old Core 2 Duo notebook with the Intel GMA 950 runs the Aero interface and looks awesome. That said, I've tested Vista RC1 on lots of machines and anything above 1GHz and 512MB is pretty decent for the average home user. My daughters really like Vista too (though they don't much care for the parental controls with the built-in timer ;-)

Yea, Windows Vista came too late for my teens. They are beyond control now.

But what about ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 driver for Vista?

I installed Vista on a P4 1.5 desktop I had sitting around the house. (It hadn't been turned on in months.) The PC has 1 GB Ram, 60 GB HD and 128 meg video memory. I didn't think it would work, but I was pleasantly suprised. It works pretty well, it doesn't get the 4.2 Windows experience index that my primary machine gets, but it was a pretty good test.

PS. I added a 2GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive to one of the USB ports and saw a performance increase.
