 No no... needing 128MB Video card just for the OS is not really an acceptable situation. |
Meant to add in there that my 1997 Crapaq with Pentium II and some 32MB ATI graphics card runs the KDE transparency and shadow rendering stuff fine. Not flawless like a modern PC, but not bad at all for the specs.
But no, there should be no reason to require a higher-0end video card just to run an operating system. You can disable Aero which utilizes it all, but even so I don't see how my old 32MB nVidia Geforce 2 can't run it even though that card gave me some good times in games like America's Army, Ghost Recon, and Flight Simulator 2002 and with much more graphics rendering for the games. |
