Intel(R) 82865G Graphic Controller

I went through many discussions and still coudnt fix Aero for me.
Its from the begining not showing me the Aero Theme.
My Display adapter is Intel(R) 82865G Graphic Controller
is it compatible?

That card does not support Windows AERO I'm afraid. AERO needs at least
128MB video ram and WDDM compliant driver or Aero Glass and some other 3D
effects won't be available.

The 865 can have 128Mb allocated. The 845 IS supported, so it would
surprise me if the 865 was not.

The 845 graphics is not supported with a wddm driver, only 945 and up.

Both 845 and 865 based motherboards will support Aero if you add a graphics
card that supports Aero. If you use on board graphics Aero is not supported.
