You know wallpaper robs system resources right? I wouldn't recomend using it if you want your rig to be higher performance. I run no wallpaper and no screen saver. it saves a little bit of ram.
I didnt know that. Thx once again Ranger:)
No prob. You get your system squared away and running as fast as it can go and then come back and see me and we will start really tweaking your setup :D You will be a 3DMark whore before you know it.
I'm already there LOL. Atleast the 3D mark Whore part.:D I got the free version of 3D mark 03. But not great scores yet. Used it on my old HP alot. Best I got was a 1003 hehe. Have yet to use it on this system.Quote:

Well, if you live in the REAL world and your life isn't dictated by "3D Mark scores", www.themexp.org has some really nice, professional looking wallpapers. Also has some new themes, screen savers and boot screens for Win XP, although I'm not really into that.
But c'mon, the affect wallpaper and a screensaver has on the performance of today's modern machines anwyhere OUTSIDE OF 3DMARK is so infintesimally small it's not worth mentioning.
Well I suppose if you had read this post and his other posts you would know he is trying to make a performance rig and he does do 3DMarks, maybe you wouldn't have flamed me for no apparant reason. Read any guide about making a gaming rig and it will tell you to get rid of the wallpaper and screen saver.Quote:

I read his post, the first post of the thread, asking where to get wallpaper. I responded with an answer. He said nothing at all about "building a performance rig", and even if he had, the question was not "will it affect my rig?", it was "Where can I get wallpaper".Quote:

Simple as that.
Just tried to shed a little light on the subject. You're just not gonna suffer any framerate loss in any game if your desktop says "Windows XP!" on it. Let's be reasonable.
I sense hostility :)
He didn't sound like he was flaming you.
It's all good :)
Heh, man that was a good laugh. OMG, i gotta go remove that wallpaper so i can get o.oooo1 more fps in 3dmark OMFG. Guys, really, stop living by it. Its just a benchmark. WHy would you dedicate a whole computer to it. But anyway...
www.themexp.org (as was said, and its a great source for themes and bootscreens as well)
www.deskmod.com
www.deviantart.com
