In my opinion, Vista's Aero is pretty cool. It spices up your desktop, and the performance impact is negligible. Many of Aero's features, such as 3D Flip, are useful in addition to being eye candy.

It doent eat Ram. It uses only about 31,000 K of RAM which is less than any browser, email applicaiton and almost less that windows explorer itself. That s under a heavy load as well. As you see in my shot i am adding that DWM which is the aero interface service it is using only 23,000K while explorer which is the desktop uses 24,000K. Cant say that is EATING RAM when it is using less Windows itself.

While it is only eye candy. It doesnt eat ram.

may i ask ur system specs?? cuz it seems to run well on ur system
