i might want to buy this card but not sure if it will run aero which is what i want?|||No, that video card is not built to run Aero. It's a video card from around 2002 that was built using hardware designed around 1999 and introduced in 2000.
You will need something a bit more modern, even if all you're trying to do is run Aero on an old computer. I would recommend the card below. Alternatively, any cheap nVidia 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, GT2, GT4 or ATI 9, X, X1, HD2, HD3, HD4, or HD5 series card you can find should do just fine.
I'm assuming by the fact that you posted the 4 MX card with the most RAM available at the time that you're not quite sure of what to look for in graphics cards. First, RAM doesn't matter nearly that much. A low-end graphics card (nVidia 6200, 7300, 8400, etc.) gains almost nothing when you pile on RAM. There was, for a time, a 512MB GeForce 6200 on sale, and people purchased it over much better and more expensive graphics cards because they figured the RAM was all that mattered - they basically got suckered into spending $80 for a graphics card that was no faster than the $25 version.
Also, since your computer is unable to run Aero as-is, you might want to consider getting a new one altogether. Spending even $50 to upgrade a computer to display the Aero Glass effects isn't a great value compared to spending the $200-400 getting a new one.|||That is a pretty old graphic card. I'm not 100% sure but I am leaning more along the lines of no for that card supporting aero fully. You might be able to get a preview of the applications running when you mouse over but the live preview and aero peek functions probably won't work.
But don't quote me on that.|||, the better the card the better the aero effect, i would recommend a 512mb video card or higher
for example a geforce 7300 gt 512mb agp video card , tigerdirect.com|||this card will not do a thing for your computer
u need fx cards if you support agp graphics slot - i suggest the 7600GT
