Does anyone know of the cheapest glass card?? Can't answer your question but I recently turned off the glass effect on my Vista laptop. I found it too distracting, and not conducive to productivity. Anyone know of a reason to keep glass except for the fact that it looks 'gee whiz'? Gary

First time I heard those types of rumors was with Win95... A big freepatch CD... The only time I remember it happening was when they screwed up Office97 so bad (before anybody had broadband) that the patches were so big it turned it into a free re-release on a CD and they even had to give you new

I just helped a friend purchase a pretty decent Dell and he went with the lesser of the two on-board video cards which I think was a 256MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache. Anyway, I could see Aero effects in use, so at least that card seems to be able to handle it. Bobby -Original
