That will give you cards with at least 128 MB of video memory. (That's the requirement for Aero Glass.) The cheapest will be around $40US (plus shipping). Good luck getting any rebate back from Fry's without a big fight. Avoid rebates and buy online cheaper if you can. I've been there and done that.

Good deal
I deleted QuickTime and I still don't have Aero Glass and I took a good look at my video card which is a GeForce FX5200 with 128 megs of memory.

I even restarted the Boinc service, after updating, for good measure. I see the same behavior as you do: Boinc doesn't suspend the SETI clients after coming out of idle.

Which graphics card for Aero?
[Avalon/Aero Team] For usability sake, I'd ask that they throw another 'experience' on top of the stack (Classic, Aero, Aero Glass, something). The beta is expected soon and, IMHO, the CTP(Community Technical Preview, available to MSDN Universal subscribers I believe) is pretty good over all.

BE7 and Vista
First Aero glass. In first few minutes it looked nice but then it started driving me nuts. Too much visual gizmos and slowdowns. Just a great distractor. Boot time is very good but many apps for some reason behave sluggishly whether in aero or classic mode. So IMHO it is a total waste of effort and money.

Aero Glass Interface
I know the FX's aren't the greatest to run Aero Glass, but it should run halfway decent at least at a 1024x768 resolution.
