Intel 965 and Aero

Question

Hi!  I just bought a D630, with the Intel 965 chipset. Everything from Intel says the 865 supports Aero, but upon upgrading my machine to Vista Ultimate, Aero is not an option.   Any thoughts?   Thanks!   -JS

Hi!   Thanks for the post. I'm not sure what model # I am using. When I look at display adapter properties, it just says 'Mobile Intel (R) 965 Express Chipset Family, DAC Type internal, Adapter String Mobile INtel GMA X3100, Total graphics memory available 384 MB'   My Laptop has 2Gb of Ram.  Does this help?   Thanks so much!!! -JS

Click Here for vista drivers available from Intel. Dell Downloads should also have the drivers. Use the Technical Support link above for those.
