Windows Windows Vista will offer varying levels of functionality depending on what kind of video card you have. When you upgrade, will your PC be up to the challenge?

well I have a Samsung X20 with ATI x600 in it...that means NO Aero for me! How stupid is this??? My notebook is just about a year and a half old...why do they force us to use pixel shader 3.0? I like eye-candies so I'm either going to try aiglx + beryl on linux or if I really decide to get a new notebook...it will be a macbook. Hasta la Vista...Vista :o)

Shader Model 2.0, not 3.0, is the requirement. The x600 is listed on ATI's site as supported under the WDDM driver model.
