dual monitor requirements

I have a nvidia 5200 w/128mg and I am unable to run glass with dual monitors. Actually, performance is still poor with two monitors non-glass. Do I really need a 256mg video card to get glass to work on dual monitors?

Sounds like thats an answer, I am getting error messages in Solutions To Problems on a single monitor that I am running low on Video memory. -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Steven Berkovitz" wrote in message

I'm not in Vista right now but the error in the event log is something to the matter of "DCE has been disabled because it was determined that performance would be too poor".
128mg per 1280x1024 monitor seems a bit extreme does it not?
Is there any way to forcefuly enable it to see how it actually performs? -- -Steven

I have a Radeon 9700Pro with 128MB ram, running dual monitors with glass enabled just fine. Main monitor is as 1600x1200, and secondary at 1280x1024. Running with the stock Vista driver.

Well, its not that extreme in my case. How many windows do you have open under Windows Aero? I have up to 20 windows running. Check in Control Panel
