LOL:D Thx for the info guys

So guys if I put one from digitals site on my 2.4C overclocked, 1 gig of hyper-x 3500, and 9800 pro, it will be ok correct, and have hardly if any performance hits on when I'm gaming?

I don`t think, wallpaper has much of a effect at all, but you can always disable it before 3D Marking and enable it after wards. As far as it effecting gaming, run your game with the wallpaper on and then off and see if you can tell a differance. Now IMO a screen saver running in the background does make a differance.

5x has nice wallpaper.

Meh, Use a wallpaper, its kinda like bill gates saying he doesn't want to buy a hot dog because its going to make him poorer.
You have a computer for a reason.

To me it seems crazy to have a high end p4 system and be worried about a wallpaper slowing your computer down. I have a 1.7 old 423 p4 and use a wallpaper no problem. Come on guys get real here.

For wallpapers I always go to digitalblasphemy as well but I was hoping to check out some other sites. I will have to check out some of the recommendations.

How could you have a screen saver running in the background while you're gaming? That defeats the purpose.

You really think that a 300k image is going to make a dent in a quarter or half gig of ram? The image is .06% of the total RAM, hardly seems like that would make a difference. At that point you might as well disable all windows themes, mouse pointers, etc. Honestly though, 3dmark isn't a sport where the winner gets a trophy or a million bucks...

Anyways, I use webshots to rotate my background periodically, I find it to be pretty cool though some will argue that it takes up some resources, but you can always kill it before you play a game or anything. I generally just search the web or kazaa for images of things I'd like on my background, planes, cars, movies, etc.

Lol let me chime in that I don't see the point of not using a screensaver or wallpaper.

I also don't understand what people could possibly be fascinated with by 3dmark, I am only interested in real world performance.
