During a Wired News test, an HP Compaq 8430 laptop with a 2-GHz Intel T2500 CPU, 1 GB of RAM and a stand-alone ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 256 MB of video memory could handle the RC2 version of Aero. Vista’s graphically intensive features worked well and the operating system’s glasslike windows and icons were nice to look at, but in this writer’s opinion, a 3-year-old version of SuSE Linux’s operating system is just as beautiful.
