Dueling Upgrade Reports
According to Dell's Upgrade Advisor, my video card (ATI Mobility Radeon X1300) isn't enough for Aero.
According to Microsoft's Upgrade Advisor it is enough for Aero.
Playing the cynic...
If I have to buy another [fill in with any item] to get Aero, Dell profits. Microsoft doesn't. In fact, Microsoft might lose because I might indefinitely postpone upgrading to Vista.
On the other hand, if Microsoft is wrong, then I will install Vista and find myself with awful graphics. Then I might return Vista. Microsoft would lose. Dell would gain (as described above). If Microsoft is right, then they get a few dollars. :)
Who do you think is right?
- I'll play the middle. You will have Aero, but not to the fullest with that card. How is that one for ya ? :smileyvery-happy:Plus having 2 gb of ram will also be better.Dim 4400
