I think you may be only looking at the graphic card requirements.
The following link contains all of the Vista Aero requirements including
ones such as the requirement for 1GB of Ram memory.

either way you look at it, a base score of 1-2 isn't typically powerful
enough to run all of aero's functions properly or at all.

like I said, mine had a base score of 3. and it still wasn't enough to
play the simple games vista comes with. they weren't even available for
playing. until I installed the new card. it limits what you can do with
aero based on the base score of your hardware. yeah if you have one gig
of memory, the base score is going to be lower. I had a one gig set of
memory. it scored a 3.4. I put 2 gigs of memory of the same speed in,
the base memory score went to 5.7.
I'm not missing any points. that's how it works.
if you have a base score of 1-3 you are not able to run all of aero's
functions fully. I thought I was too. but I was def wrong. aero
isn't just that feature that lets you flip through the screens.
