how much ram do you have to be able to run that animated desktop with no problems? i tried that and it makes my lap top very laggy.. i have 2GB with vista home premiume

Hi paliometoxo,

I have 4 GB of dual channel DDR2 1066 MHz RAM. I idle at 3% CPU usage with it. CPU is a Core 2 Quad Q9450.

Strange though. I had it running on my old system with 2 GB DDR 667 MHz RAM with a idle CPU usage of 13%. It was a 3 GHz P4 630 w/HT.

Usually that Dream doesn't use much resources.

I suppose what kind of CPU and graphics card you have will play a role in how it performs to though.

thanks for the reply Brink.

that must be it, its just a simple acer lap top nothing special i want to upgrade to 4GB ram though, but its not just with your wallpaper it does that its with all of them when i install the program so it must be my pc or that i dont use ultimate? just home premium

nice car

how do you change the clock to look like that?

**johngalt** · 08-05-2008

You can select that one from the options of the clock - there are 8 different skins.

Or, you can download a different clock from the Windows Gadget site....same basic clock with a little twist - you can make the second hand bounce if you enable both second hand and bounce....

Windows Live Gallery

Unless you are running stardock 2.0(deskscapes) or ultimate you will have judders and shakes etc.
