Intel 915主板开Aero效果

问题:
我的笔记本是915主板集成的910 128兆共享显存的显卡,现在安装了Vista 旗舰版,无法打开aero效果,在个性化设置里面没有,我用修改注册表的方式强制打开也不显示
系统性能测试结果为显卡3d和游戏性能为1.0
所以请教各位,是我的显卡驱动不好呢?还是910显卡根本就无法打开aero效果?

解答:
总体来说,Intel 945 G 和Intel 945 GM Express芯片组的主板是一个分水岭,因为Intel从945开始提供WDDM驱动,也就是说945,965这样的芯片组上面的Intel集成显卡都会支持Vista的Aero「桌面芯片组Intel G965/Q965/Q963,946GZ,945G,945GZ,945GT Express|移动芯片组Intel 945GM,945GMS,943GML,940GML Express」,而对于915这样的芯片组上面的Intel集成显卡(Intel GMA 900)只能望Aero兴叹了。

Vista的WDDM驱动中有一项至关重要的要求-Aero需要有一个足够大的内存表(Memory Table),而Intel915/GMA900并不能满足这个要求,除此之外,Intel/GMA900在外观渲染(surface placement)和显存排列(graphics memory alignment)上面的硬件限制也会导致其在使用Aero时无法进行显存使用优化。最后915Express芯片组家族对Vista的动态内存管理缺乏硬件本身的支持,将会带给开启Aero的用户一个性能低下的体验。因此Intel决定,放弃915家族的WDDM驱动,而从945家族开始提供WDDM驱动。
