I feel the increased cpu hit is a lot more tolerable than a memory hit. I do a lot of heavy rendering where my RAM is doing all the work.

The pretty line jumping around as you move your mouse isn’t going to be enough to persuade me after extensive research.

What type of work are you doing where this will cause you to take a hit?

This is because Aero does the bulk of the video processing using your video card. Vista Basic and classic, as well as all previous versions of Windows, use the CPU to process the video and then simple output the final results to the video card. You can test this out easily by opening up task manager and switching to the CPU monitor. Now, take an open window and drag it around very quickly and note your CPU usage. Now switch from Aero to classic and repeat. You'll notice the CPU usage is much higher.<br/><br/>So I recommend keeping Aero on if you have both a decent video card as well a lot of RAM, as it will actually increase performance.

I kept one black one but I set all the others to Manual and stopped.
Would this disable them or would it enable them still.
I think it will still run when a process needs it right?
So is it safe to completely disable them?

Thanks, I’ve been looking for a tip on this since I first got Vista!
