Hello, I got a P4 PC they were getting rid of from work and have given it to my father in law. I installed Windows 7 on the machine and it runs really well, very snappy.
One problem though was getting Aero working on the nvidia 5200FX card. I have eventually got it working but it doesn't run well, dragging a window round the screen is sluggish.
I've looked at upgrading his graphics card to a better AGP model but it looks like a minefield finding one that gives true WDDM 1.1 driver support.
Does anyone know of one?
THe only thing I can think of is to get an ATI card (3650 or 4650) and live with Vista WDDM 1.0 drivers, where Aero will work but the main memory usage is higher due to the way these drivers work.
