Will this Graphics Card run Aero Glass theme?

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of purchasing the nVidia GeForce FX5500 256mb DDR

Heres the specs:

GPU | Geforce FX5500
Coreclocks | 270MHz
PixelPipelines | 2

Memory Clock | 400MHz
Memory Size | 256MB
Memory Interface | 128-bit
Memory Type | DDR

DirectX | DirectX 9
OpenGL | OpenGL 1.4

Tuner | None
RAMDAC | 350 MHz
Max Resolution | 2048x1536
SLI | Supported No
Cooler | Heatsink and Fan

Additional details:
Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for Microsoft
DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 2.0 enables stunning and complex special effects.
Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.

I recommend you take a look at

http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html

and this site for ATI parts

http://www.ati.com/technology/Window.../Products.html

And this for Intel

Hope this helps you in your selection,
