@int86
the normal, window effects (minimize/shadow/wobble), the desktop cube, a bit of transperencies is all that will run smoothly. u may try other effects too and post about ur experience here so that it benefits others. these are the effects which i've seen run smoothly on a config like urs.

@kenshin
goto compiz settings and set the horizontal desks to 4. also enable the cube and rotate cube option.

what version of ubuntu do you run? hey jus follow that guide. the only big download is the ati driver. download that article. ur gfx card can be setup offline. goto some cyber cafe and download all the resources. i hope you haf at least one of the composite managers installed. even if not its not a very big download (~8mb or so) which is one time download.
