Compiz minimums

[Adrienne J Davis]

I would really  like to use Compiz and KDE.  I suspect, however, that I won't be able to not and have it useable.  But I'm not sure.  I have installed it a few times now, and it works but it is painfully slow for the most part which makes it unusable. 

I know what the Compiz developers say are minimum to run Compiz but I'm curious as to what people have found is minimal to be useable.

Here's the relevant parts of my system:

Proc:AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+  1,466.85 MHz
RAM: 1G
Video card: GeForce4 MX 440 64MB

I suspect that my video card just can't handle it.  The reason I'm asking is that I'm not sure if it is how I have Compiz configured or my system. 

Any thoughts/advice/inputs would be appreciated.

Cheers
Aj

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
