hey bud, aero needs around 1gb of ram, will also eat up any virtual ram with ready boost, still cant turn mine on though, excedes all the specs, strange...

Aero doesn't actually use system memory or cpu power, that's why you need the high end card. it eats up the video cards resources not the systems, unless you have an onboard motherboard. 1Gb of ram is actually plenty for a power user, but gamers and hard core users need at least 2GB or more.

Instead of Pressing 'Alt & Tab' to view open Applications, Press the Windows Key and Tab. Its had lots of people fooled!

i turn aero on by clicking my mouse' Document Flip button. its that extra button below the scoll wheel with a window document picture on it. i know, not every mouse has this extra button, but thats how i turn my vista aero on. its a logitech mx518.
i have no idea how to turn it on without this mouse.

you don't turn aero on, it's just a theme. But like i've said before, aero compared to xgl is like comparing a pentium mmx to core 2 duo extreme, one sucks the other one is awesome. there are so many other cool effects and eye candy in xgl that makes vista suck.
