I am buying a new PC and the mother board has 128MB graphic card built in is it is sufficient to run the vista graphics like 3D windows, Aero graphics etc....
If not please suggest.

Requirements of Vista
What is the config that you are getting?
Windows Vista: System requirements
don't be misled by the above link, you need atleast dual core processor like AMD X2 and 2 GB RAM to run any application smoothly. get a separate graphics card (geForce 8600GT is cheap these days) if you plan on using only vista (i.e. no XP). my PC (config in my sig) runs vista but is not able to run any game even at 640x480 in vista, whereas the same game runs at 1024x768 in XP.
^^^hmm.
that's interesting.
Am able to play Crysis in Vista. albiet at 1024x768. but Play games like farcry, GRID, CoD at full resol of 1440x900.
AMD Athlon 3000+ (single core)
2gig ram
HD2600XT 512MB GDDR3.
Earlier i used onboard nvidia 6100 and was able to work on vista without any problem
All that you need to do is some tweaking.

As long as u are getting 1+ gig of RAM and a 2.4+ Ghz proccy and atleast 128MB+ VRAM, Vista will work fine without any lags except heavy apps. But dont plan gaming on this low end config.
me with c2d e4500 2.2GHz, 512x2 @ 800MHz RAM, intel gma x3000 onboard gfx.
vista runs real smooth.
i play GTR2 at 1024 @85Hz, full gfx., that game slows only when there are more than 25 cars on circuit
cod4, played it on latest gfx. driver at 1024, med. gfx.
battlefield2 at 1024 @full gfx...
@OP, if you're getting Intel m/b, then get the one which has gma x4500 (G43 chipset)
but know this, all the onboard gfx. will use the CPU a lot, so get a good processor too. like core 2 duo
^^Yeah intel integrated rocks, i ditched my 6600 for x3000.

Actually the G31/G33 is enough for basic Vista computing. Heck, even my 945 IGP runs Vista comfortably without Aero on 1440x900.

strange, seems intel is far better than geforce 6100 onboard. could it be a problem with the drivers? i tried to play POP T2T and NFS MW.
will it run smooth on Acer aspire 5500 ?
Intel Pentium Mobile 1.73 Ghz
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X700 64 MB Graphics card
^^ Give it a try. I tried it on my Thinkpad T43 (Pentium 2GHz, 1Gig ram, X300 onboard). It ran well.
^^ya just installed fresh fresh vista ...looks good ..satisfied !
..satisfied !

^Cool.
one tragedy occured to my lappi ...
^^ VISTA IS really PISSSSS TA
I had installed skype and then logitech webcam driver..after it was so slow...that i was frustrated....after that when calling from skype..my sound drivers stopped working ...

right, vista can run smoothly on any respectable pc, but any thing else wont. just run vista and keep staring, install any app and it starts to slowdown
