    prostreet .. can't ..
    [SIZE=-1]The Radeon 9250 cannot run Aero , that's the truth, have to face it[/SIZE]..

    The MS site says this card is ok but the ATI site says it's not because the
    pixel and vertex shader versions are not 2.0. There are no ATI Vista
    drivers available for the 9250

    You can use XP drivers. Vista WDDM drivers are required specifically to get the DWM features. For a non-aero config, you don't need WDDM drivers. The usual XP drivers should work. (well, they worked in the Vista beta days)

    Rather, it was the FX5200 equivalent card from ATI, BUT without DX9 support. (On FX5200, DX9 support was only a "statement" anyway :D)

    yea .. preloaded drivers on the Vista disc can be used, but they say it'll displays the basic interface..

    I HAVE USED IT!!!
    It should. Maybe not by default, but there is always a workaround.

    But no DX9 gaming on it. Its like playing DX10 games on 8400 series cards :P

    Yes, you are limited to Vista Basic Theme. Vista Basic Theme sux more than XP's imo.
