Video Card?

Mar 10, 2007 1:56PM PST

I have a BFG Nvidia I think it is. 7300GS PCI express video card. This says 7300 is vista ready.

http://www.jcxp.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6957

But Vista Advisor program says I need a new video card. Why would it say that or is that an outdated list.

And what is AREO really offering. Just eye candy. Home Basic is available for 60 dollars at my local compusa since it's closing. Can I really live without AERO or is Home Basic still too basic even besides AERO.

Thanks,
Confusimo
