Enabling Aero and Flip 3D on VISTA RC2
Tuesday, October 17th, 2006
The Aero style on Windows VISTA is one of the most appealing features that many tend to be 
lured into. Windows Aero is a feature that basically provides you with additional visual enhancements that not can help you be more productive, but significantly enhances the appearance and functionality of VISTA. However, many do not know that in order to take advantage of these features, your hardware may need to meet certain requirements. Plenty has changed in each and every release of VISTA, and is the reason for this new Tech Tip at ExtremeMHz.
Changes in Betas &RC releases
After extensive evaluation of each and every release, I can say that Microsoft has made many changes in regards to its features and how to enable them. Those who have installed beta releases and even the RC1 release, have noticed that you can easily enable the Aero style via the Display Properties. However, note that plenty has changed in the RC2, the final public release before the retail version hits the shelves.
Many who have installed the RC2 release have found that they cannot enable Aero or take advantage of its Flip 3D feature. The reason is simply due to the hardware itself! Unlike all previous releases, RC2 as well as the retail version of VISTA, will require at least 1GB of memory in order to enable Aero without any hacks. So yes, hardware requirements will indeed be a bit more demanding for the best experience. ExtremeMhz.com-EMHz Tech Tip: Enabling Aero & Flip 3D on VISTA RC2
