Windows Vista boasts an impressive graphical display. Of course one can only truly enjoy this experience if they have a decent graphics card. Even having a decent graphics card may not ensure that you get to see this impressive graphical display as many cards are not compatible with Vista.
I am fortunate enough to be able to be able to run Vista on my computer and see the advanced graphics. Vista has a new graphics engine called Aero, if you are running Vista you will notice that now when you switch or close windows they fade, or there is a glassy appearance to them. It's nice to know that you can disable Aero to improve the performance of your computer. By disabling Aero you can significantly improve your computer's performance.
To do this go to Start---->Control Panel---->Personalization----->Window Colour and Appearance---->Open Classic Appearance Properties for more colour options. This ill bring up your appearance settings window. In the colour scheme section you ca completely disable Aero by selecting another colour scheme ( usually selecting Windows Vista basic works well). Once you have done this all those fancy effects will disappear but your computer performance should improve significantly.
