    You dont get AERO because of graphics card.
    Please post your Graphics card Info.
    and also mention entire system details.. CPU, RAM , GPU etc

    bad luck.
    GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Driver - GA-K8VM800M (Rev 2.x)

    GigaByte has not yet provided drivers. But google for it. If you have no card , it means its using on-board graphics.

    For Aero , You need any graphics (on-board or card) with DirectX 9 capabilities.

    For On-Board Drivers, check manufacturer website.

    Hope this helps.

    I am sooo amazed at the enthusiasm you guys have in India about new softwares, operating systems and technologies! I also admire the number of people using Linux as I in Canada I dont know many people who have even tried Linux leave alone making it their main OS.
    For the record I am still stuck with windows XP home edition. I did upgrade to vista but then reverted back to XP as I did'nt like it that much.

    Does Windows 7 have anything special that windows XP doesnt?

    It is a good upgrade if you are changing from XP to 7. If you are using Vista, you may not feel the difference. It is said to more stable and user friendly.

    Vista was very resource hungry. It demanded a Ferrari just so that you could commute to work.

    Windows 7 is more 'down to earth' in that respect.

    Windows 7 is 10x faster and secure than windows XP.
    + as all core 2 duo CPU are 64 bit , i will say just install windows 7 64 bit to have an added advantage in terms of stability.

    Try it atleast once and you will love it

    Speaking of Vista, i never had any problems , neither i found it resource hungry. It too fits my bill.

    Windows 7 has many new features.it supports 4GB RAM and Direct X 11!!!!
    but It supports 4GB+ RAM ONLY when you have any core2Duo CPU which are 64 bit.

    Extract from my earlier post.
    Also Link from Microsoft regarding UPG to Windows7 given.

    Windows 7 system requirements are very similar to those of Windows Vista, and users running Vista shouldn’t have much problems upgrading to Windows 7.

    Here are the base system requirements for Windows 7:

    * 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) CPU
    * 1GB RAM for 32-bit OS, 2GB RAM for 64-bit OS
    * 16GB hard disk free space for 32-bit OS, 20 GB for 64-bit OS
    * DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver............
