Advance tools/performance issue: warning

[Guest]

P4 2.8ghz HT, 1.5gb, 160gb, Ati 9550 256mb agp 8x.

I open up Advanced tools and notice below Performance issues that it
displayed a warning icon with message Performance can be improved by changing
visual settings. View details. I look at the details and a window pop up with
a message:

Adjust visual setting to improve peformance

The current visual setting might not result in the best computer peformance.
To improve perforamnce, you cay try closing some windows, turning off window
transparency, lowering the computer resolution, or changing your color scheme
to Window Vista Basic. it has button: Help, remove from list, ok

so i look at the performance details event log and saw warning icons with
information about Desktop Window Manager is experiencing heavy resource
contention. reason: Graphic subsystem resources are over-utilized. Is Ati
Radeon 9550 256mb AGP 8x not enough?

Althought i don't see any performance issue on my computer at all no slow
down. I also turn off the transparency and still giving me the warning in the
advanced tools.

If you are happy with the way your computer is operating don't worry about
it would be my advice. Your PC would run faster without all the bells and
whistles as would any other PC mine says the same (without the specific
warning about heavy resource contention) and I have a Geforce 8800GTX.

I thought that Vista turn off the transparency and special effect
automatically when it find that the computer performance is low.
