Thanks in advance if you can find that article. I think even my 256mb agp card is lacking. It's a Radeon 9250 - ATI. DirectX 9 lacking on it
I am surprised, the 9250 should be decent, heck my integrated 6150 nVidia worked Aero like a champ, did give me a rating of 2.3 though.
Upon further Google it seems ATI left your card out of the packaged driver set, does yours report as having no memory for your card? I would try the latest drivers on that card because technically it should do just as well, if not better, than my integrated graphics.
