Hi,

I'm running Win7 64bit on a Athlon64 X2 4000+ with a Geforce 6600 (256MB) with
Aero active and it's not really sluggish, so the Geforce 210 should be more than
sufficient to handle Aero.
You might have a resource hungry virus scanner for example.
Disconnect your PC from the Network and disable the Antivir. If this speeds
things up you should look for a smarter Antivir.
