    My system seems faster when I have Aero Theme on


    I find it odd that my overall system speed seems quicker and snappier when I've got Aero enabled compared to using just the basic or classic theme.


    Why is that anyway ?

    My system :

    AMD Athlon TF-20 1.60GHz Single Core
    ATI Radeon X1200
    2X2GB of DDR2 RAM

    As far as I understand it, aero runs almost entirely from you GPU whereas classic utilizes the systems CPU.

    I think aero enables some more hardware acceleration.

    Just like Nina said...It runs on your GPU and lets your CPU handle other things
