aero 64mb

I have a fairly good laptop (centrino 2ghz, 2gb RAM) but the graphics card is an X300 with 64MB Built in RAM, will I not even get the choice of Aero or will it just be slow? (my res is 1400x1050) I know if its slow I won't use it but it'd be nice to see what it looks like. The Vista ready test app said I should upgrade my grafx card ;(
thanks gerryR

For shared memory, or integrated graphics chiptsets, 1 GB of dual channel configured system memory (RAM) is required. The system needs to have at least 512 MB of RAM available for general system activities after graphics processing. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... I have a radeon x300 with 64mb dedicated... so 1280 x 800 is ok? Thats what I got out of their Get Ready page, but I wanted to make sure. I also think I should upgrade system memory... I only have 512mb. -- Robert Firth

how can I test it? do I have to use a special display resolution ?
thanks a lot!
