does EVGA GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR AGP 8X support Window Vista Ae

It certainly should since it meets the required specs, 128MB of memory and
onboard DX9 and shader level supports.
 
I had a FX 5200 (not EVGA however) and was able to run aero on it . Starting
with build 5744 and RTM it would not display glass by default, however (I
guess it does this with less than 1GB RAM. There is a work around available:

1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges :

- Type 'net stop uxsms'
- Then 'net start uxsms'

Hope this helps,

Steve
 
You got a 50/50 chance. My GeForce FX Go5600 on my notebook doesn't run
Aero, but you may have more luck with a desktop..
