I have a relatively old PC with a half-decent graphics card, the ATI 9600
Pro, and I was wondering if this would be capable of running Vista with
Aero?

Thanks in advance.

If it has 128 megs or more RAM, then it will be fine. Actually I think 64
megs is enough for 1024 x 768.

Also needs DX9 support and pixel shader 2.0 hardware support

Hi Bobby,

Yes, it is. I am using one with Aero running on the system I am writing this
from.

Hi,

Yes - I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 with 256 MB of RAM and Aero works
decently

I believe the minimum ATI processor is the 9500 or 9550

Yes, 9500 as per ATI's website.

I am using the ATI 9600 Pro with Vista (RC2) and Aero works with it. I am
also using two monitors both running at 1600 x 1200. I can also rotate one
or both displays with the latest drivers from ATI.
 
Yes, the ATI 9600 Pro works great with Vista. I am able to use it with a
Dell 20" LCD at 1680x1050 with Aero Glass and it runs great. Gaming is good,
but you can tell that it needs an upgrade.
