Windows. With some of that eyecandy crap that drains computer resources like an alcoholic downs a beer.

That's a good point. It's actually God from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Yeah, it's XP and I must admit I've got that crap off 99% of the time. It's just if someone visits or if I'm not planing to game.

Thanks Overcow, your system specs are pretty good. The reason I asked for your system specs is that I wanna find out will a good computer like yours still drain all the resources with such themes being set up.

I theme is not an extermal app, you use a thing with your Windows (sorry, XP only) that let's you use costum theme. I'll make the guide and upload a RAR of all the files needed soon.

Yeah but it still drains resource. It's like having a higher quality wallpaper - your computer still has to load it to/from somewhere.

Why are gamers insisting on quad cores?

Bragging rights? :wacko:

That's thinking a little too far ahead. Games don't really even use dual cores that much quite yet so quads are a long ways off.

 

And my laptop wallie... if it's too much, go ahead and wax the picture. :P
