Aero graphics card?

David Veeneman

Not exactly a C# question, but one that C# experts can answer-- sorry if I'm
off topic.

We're going to upgrade a development machine to Vista when it comes out, and
I'm getting ready to install Beta 2 on an idle machine with an AGP slot. The
machine qualifies for everything except Aero glass. Can anyone recommend a
graphics card (preferebly with dual analog out) that will support Aero Glass
in Vista Beta 2? Thanks much.

FWIW, I got a PNY NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 card ($35 at Buy.com). It displays
Aero Glass without problems.
