Hi does anyone know if a Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (up to 128MB) and the chipset is Intel® i915GV chipset willbe compatible with Windows Aero on vista. Many Thanks Iain

No, not to get all the effects. Use the Vista Upgrade Advisor here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx

I don't believe that's true. It's DX9 compatible and there are many reports here that the native Vista drivers support glass, but Intel's do NOT, so don't update.
Why would you say it does not?

Windows Vista delivers a major step forward in terms of how graphics hardware is used by mainstream Windows-based applications, from the Windows desktop to consumer and line-of-business applications.
To achieve this enhanced desktop experience, the graphics adapter or chipset must have a Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver and must support GPU, memory, bandwidth, and other requirements supporting Aero capabilities.
For Windows Vista, graphics requirements for desktop experiences are defined in relation to differentiated experiences, as described in the Windows Vista Logo Program requirements and the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
