    Mkay.. 2 Questions

    1.) What driver version are You using
    2.) How much memory did You assign for the onboard graphics?

    I only get 1.0 in 3D and 1.9 for Aero with the drivers from the Intel page

    And another Question : Is speedstep working on your AA1?

    I am pretty sure that you changed the Video RAM or something.

    You need install latest driver for Intel 945G. Find it in the download section of www.intel.com

    That will give you at least 2.8 for Aero.

    I don't think you can adjust video memory for Aspire one in it's BIOS. Therefore I didn't do anything to it.

    i just read from official vista website, the requirement to run aero is :
    vista home premium or above
    Video ram 64 or above

    so we should change configuration to meet that requirement to run aero.

    ok, we don't have to meet the minimum requirment, we can just screw microsoft's minimum requirments.
    Save the extra RAM for your computing needs. :lol:

    My AA1 150 running Vista Ultimate, 1GB RAM, Hitachi 120GB HDD, 3-cell battery

    CPU: 3.0
    RAM: 4.5
    AERO: 4.2
    GFX: 2.8
    HDD: 5.2

    I am not sure about Aero's impact over the battery life... i'll check it in the next days. Running XP I get maximum 2h 20mins.
