When installing I have no video issues, when running I can't navigate in windows due to the lag. I have an ATI x300/550 PCI-E 256 MB card, I have attempted to update the drivers on a previous install and found a marginal increase and little to no difference when I turned off all the 'bells and whistles', I spoke to people at microsoft that have been testing for a while, they don't have the same card but suggested 2 GB RAM instead of 1 GB Ram to compensate ... is that my ONLY option? If so how am I to recommend this to customer who ask?
